Last weekend's events:
  • Loretta-Last Sunday: Romero Pools- LOTS of water, gushing over the waterfall... sunny day, mild temperature, not too many people... overall, nice hike.
  • Todd, Phil, et. al- Mt. Wrightson- 2-3 feet of snow--didn't make it to the top, but it was beautiful. Just a few people on the trail, but when they got back to the parking area, there were LOTS of people there.
  • Wolfgang- Big surprise: Went to the desert museum as usual... but this time, the cats weren't out... visited the bears and the aviary. Also, Wolfgant went on a hike in the Rincons on the Douglas Spring trail on Saturday--3 hr hike approx. 5 miles.
  • Fran- Ponnetock (sp?) Ridge (by an old Spanish mine)... and backpacking in the Tonto National forest--wilderness area... some rain
*****NOTICE*****PLEASE*READ*****
The T-shirts are pretty much through the design phase... and we have already ordered them. They will have the selected design (we don't hug trees) with the print colors being black and green, on a natural-color 100% cotton shirt. If you would like one, please bring $10 (cash preferable, but checks OK we guess) to the next meeting, or contact Loretta at chasel@u.arizona.edu or 795-6892 for other arrangements...
