WALK THE BROWN CANYON TRAIL
Join the Muleteam this Saturday January 17th for a hike through a unique and scenic wooded canyon in the Huachuca Mountains of Sierra Vista. This trail is well-marked and moderately difficult with a mix of some uphill sections through the forest, following a running creek making a roundtrip of about 6 miles. Bring water and lunch. Back mid-afternoon. Meet January 17th at 9am by the Old Bisbee courthouse fountain to carpool or join us at 10am at Brown Canyon Ranch in Hereford. For more email Laura at mssmithlg@aol.com or call her at (206) 715-6589.
The ride to the trailhead at Brown Canyon Ranch (off Ramsey Road/Route 92) is about 45 minutes from the Courthouse. Gas donation to carpool drivers is appreciated. There is a day-use fee of $8 per vehicle, which is waived for holders of National Park Passes (Annual, Senior, Military).

BACKTRACK - China Camp
Fourteen hikers and three dogs braved the cold and wind to hike to China
Camp in the Dragoons. The sun was shining but there were still several
icy patches on the old road that required careful stepping. Lunch was
by the running creek. It seemed to finally warm up on the way down to
the parking area. - Sandy

SIDETRACK - The San Pedro River needs your support!!
An RV Park is being considered
on a property next to the Echoing Hope Ranch off Hereford Rd. This is a
terrible location for an RV Park: very close to the river, herbicides
will most likely be used to keep the vegetation down to reduce snake
surprises (and if snakes are found they will be killed), septic issues
close to the water table, trash, human activity will keep away wildlife,
and it is a perennial reach so it is richly vegetated and full of
wildlife. Our county Supervisor Kathleen Gomez, representing Bisbee, is
from Douglas and is not familiar with how precious the river is to her
consitituents. She needs to know this. I have been tasked by ardent
river lovers not in her district, to face-time with Kathleen so she can
hear how passionate we are about preserving the river. I need about
three people to come with me to meet with Kathleen (time to be
determined). If you are interested, please contact Cado Daily
cadomexico@gmail.com or text 520-366-2208. The river thanks you! - Cado
