Minutes for Meeting of 03-04-98

Meeting called to order at 5:05pm. All officers present, 9 members present.

LAST WEEK:
  • Wolfgang - Romero Canyon on Saturday. Started by himself and ended with 3 other people. He said there was a lot of water and a few waterfalls along the way. It might be something to see!
  • BJ - Picacho Peak on Sunday. BJ led 6 people up to Picacho Peak (and returned with 6). He said the place was "swarming with hikers" because of the wildflowers blooming.
  • Loretta & Josh - Mt. Lemmon. They went up to play in the snow and ended up sitting in the café afterward for a few hours drinking coffee. (Loretta had too much).
  • Ezra - Tanque Verde Falls. Ezra did some bushwhacking because the trail was closed due to severe flooding. He only made it 5 miles in 5 hours and had to turn back early. He followed the river as far as he could get before turning back. He said there was a lot of water.
NEW BUSINESS/OLD BUSINESS:
T-shirts will be in any day now! It's $10 per T-shirt and we did order some extras! If you haven't ordered one yet and want to, contact BJ to make payment arrangements. Checks can be made out to "Ramblers." We took money at the meeting.
