PAST HIKES:

  1) Wolfgang went up the Butterfly Trail last Saturday with two past rambler
members. They saw some regrowth in the vegetation up there...Then two Saturdays
ago he went up Seven Falls and farther...Also, three Saturdays ago he spent
time at the Wachucka Mountains...just a little update.

  2) This last weekend Will went up Remero Trail. Where he sadly broke a bone 
in his foot. He is now avidly against hiking in sandals in the future.

  3) Joe was in Heber last weekend and spent the time going cross-country
hiking, but was actually attempting to hunt some elk. Good place to go to
escape the heat...

FUTURE HIKES:

Sorry you're on your own this week. We have no future hikes on the menu...

HAVE A WONDERFUL WEEKEND!!!
