PARLERMEE SAW MILL RUINS
Join
the Muleteam this Saturday March 7th for a hike through lower Miller
Canyon of the Huachuca’s. This is an easy hike with a 5-mile round trip
from the lower parking lot of Miller Canyon Road to the ruins of the
Parlermee Saw Mill (a historical site that shows the remnants of a
sawmill that played a significant role in the region’s lumber supply
during the mid-1800s). Bring water and lunch/snack, Dogs on leashes are
OK. Back early afternoon. Meet at 9am by the Bisbee Courthouse fountain
to carpool. Free, but gas donation is appreciated. For more details, contact Ed at 313-204-2119.
Alternatively,
meet at 9:30am on Miller Canyon Road in the large dirt parking area on
the left with restrooms (about a mile after turning onto Miller Canyon
Road, shortly after the paved road turns to dirt).

BACKTRACK - Mt Ballard
Eight hikers met on a warm but gorgeous day to hike up Mt. Ballard, at
7,370 feet the highest peak in the Mule Mountains. Most of the group had
hiked this before, so were prepared for the rather unrelenting uphill
climb! Two of our group planned on only going part way, but the rest of
us made it to the summit and enjoyed snacks and lunch on top. Once
again, we all pondered the metal sign with a Bible verse at the summit,
wondering who lugged that heavy piece of metal up there and why. After a
break we all started the trek down, with the last of us reaching the
parking lot by 1 p.m. Another great Muleteam adventure! - Deb
