We finished! Yes! The entire section from I10 to Old Sonoita Highway is complete. Remaining ‘clean-up’ is to clear the rain inspired growth from last section to the Blackwell gate (see 06-01-14). Then we’ll cross the highway and head west to review and groom the trail constructed to Route 83 last year.
Personal comment: This was a fun and hard working crew. It feels good to see something ‘done.’ Thank you, wil
We only have a few more weeks before regular season begins, this is THE opportunity to get back in shape ...

Morning sunlight crept over the eastern hills at 6:00 AM!

Ok, so I flashed on this one ...
