Minutes for Meeting of 08-04-99

Hi all...

Wednesday's meeting had 7 Ramblers in attendance, was short, and followed by a long and pleasurable happy hour.

Past hikes:

Wit, John and John did a short hike up along the trail to Lemmon Pools and reported a lot of nice little areas with pools, water-falls and neat places to sit on the rocks.

Hanna and her boyfriend spent three days backpacking along the Gila River by Silver City in NM, crossing the river many times and visiting a few hot springs.

Joe & Joe reported night hiking up to Tanque Verde Peak a few weeks back, and bush-whacking up Espiritus Canyon in the Rincons this past weekend (the map says there's a trail, it lies).

Upcoming hikes:

We are planning another attempt on Marble Peak in the Catalinas on Saturday. Bring plenty of water, snacks, flashlights, head-lamps and helmets (if you've got 'em) and serious rain gear for some possible mine/cave exploration in the area.Meet at the Park Student Center at 8:15 am to drive across town and meet the rest of the group on the east-side at the ABCO at Catalina Highway (NOT at Sabino Canyon) by 9am. It'll be fun.

Please start to think about neat, cool, shorter hikes to suggest for new members when school starts up again.

See you on the trails!
Joe Leisz
