ANNUAL SAN PEDRO HIKE & PICNIC
Join the Muleteam this Saturday February 21st for a special relaxing and fun event: our 16th Annual Potluck Riverside Picnic along the San Pedro River. We start at the Historic Fairbank Townsite and walk along a flat and easy trail, first to see the 100+ year old cemetery and then mill ruins until we get to the river in only about 1½ miles. At the riverside we spread out the tablecloths, put out the food and drinks and have a long, relaxing lunch. We ask that everyone bring some food or drink to share. Beer & wine are welcome. All the plates, utensils and glasses will be provided. After lunch everyone has the option to either return to Fairbank the way we came or continue the longer loop route along the river (about 4 more miles).
Meet Feb 21 at 9am by the Old Bisbee courthouse from which we can carpool to the Fairbank Townsite parking lot. Alternatively, hikers may meet us at about 9:40am at the Fairbank parking lot. The trip is about 40 minutes from Bisbee: Route 80 past Tombstone, left on Route 82 across from the Checkpoint for about 6 miles. Fairbank lot is on the right. For any questions, contact Doug at (520) 432-0307 or reiniger@wyoming.com.

BACKTRACK - Mural Hill
11 hikers met up at various points for the Mural Hill hike. Eight hikers
made it to the summit and were rewarded with beautiful southeastern
views of Mexico's sky islands, and Chiricahua. The bird's eye view of
various mining activities left us pondering over whether or not mining
will be revived in Bisbee. - Carol
