China Camp

HIKE TO CHINA CAMP
Join the Muleteam this Saturday, March 8th, for a hike in the Dragoon Mountains on an old mining road with wonderful views. This hike starts with little elevation gain then changes to a moderate uphill to the camp ruins and down the same way for a little more than 5 miles total. Lunch will be by a creek, and there will be no climb to the peak! Bring water and lunch. Dogs welcome. Back mid-afternoon. Meet Saturday by 9am at the Old Bisbee Courthouse fountain to carpool (about an hour). Free, but gas donation is appreciated. For more details contact Sandy at (520) 353-5124 or slajudice@yahoo.com.

Alternate meeting spots:
Anyone wanting to can meet the group at the turnoff from Hwy. 80 onto Middlemarch Road. Please be there by 9:30. We will drive on Middlemarch Road about 1-3/4 mile beyond where the road branches off to the left toward Slavin Gulch and Council Rocks. There is a large dirt parking area on the left where we will park and start hiking.

BACKTRACK - Fairbank 
The 2025 San Pedro Riverside Picnic was one of the best in our 15-year history. Twenty-two hikers and one dog took advantage of this wonderful hike on a sunny and slightly breezy day. As planned, we spread out the tablecloths in the shade of a giant Cottonwood tree, put out the food and drinks and had a very long and relaxing lunch. Our tradition of many kinds of delicious homemade food, starting with wine and Laura’s Margaritas, continued as strong as ever with contributions by new Mules. When we reluctantly returned to the trails, about half of the group continued back to Fairbank on the trial along the river/train track and the other half took the same path back. We all arrived at about the same time with fond memories. - Doug
