Minutes for Meeting of 03-27-2002

• The Ramblers meet every Wednesday at 5pm in the Forbes Building in room 307.
• All hikes,unless otherwise stated, will meet for departure in the parking lot behind the Park Student Union. After 8pm on Friday the lot is available all weekend for general use.

• Ross, last Sunday, hiked up to Seven Falls. It was a perfect day for hiking and swimming. There were a lot of people but no other animals other than the usual desert dwellers.
• Susan hiked two miles into Pima canyon recently. Her boyfriend enjoyed using his GPS system while Susan enjoyed the beauty of the great outdoors. They saw a rabbit and possibly a prairie dog but that could have been on another hike.
• Hanna bushwhacked through the street fair last weekend and enjoyed herself thoroughly. The outing proved to be very interesting.
• Michael and five others attempted to go rock climbing at the Red Rocks in Nevada. It was too windy for climbing in that area so they drove back to AZ and spent Saturday night in the Prescott area. On Sunday they did some climbing around Watson Lake in the Prescott area.

• Ross will be conducting a moonlight hike Friday night in the Tucson Mountains. The hike will be meeting at PSU at 6:30pm. Bring your own flashlights.
• Andrew will be leading a hike in Ventana Canyon on Saturday. The length of the hike will depend on what the group is up for. The meeting time for this hike is 8am at PSU.

• April 11-14 is UofA's Spring Fling at Rillito Downs. We will be co-sponsering a basketball game booth with the Collegiate 4-H club. This will be a great opportunity for our club to raise money to buy new equipment. Please begin to think about your schedule for that weekend and if/when you would be available to help work the booth. There will be more information later.
