Baughman Creek

Dick Dove led us on a very windy hike, starting at Baughman Cr. over to Seitz Cr. and back down to the Baughman homestead (circa 1870) and the Davis homestead (circa 1880). The round corral was used by Baughman to break horses to ride. The two homesteads are about 1/2 mile apart. From the Davis homestead we hiked back to the vehicle.........

Next Monday we will be hiking in the Penitente Canyon, we hope to find the "medicine tree" again it is one the outer loop; however when we find it we will come back the same way (some of you may remember the other time).

Bring a snack, water and a friend, we will plan on going to the La Garita store for burgers,etc after we finish the hike.........meet at the VCPL and plan on leaving by 9AM.

Old Spanish Trail

Today featured about 2 miles of the Old Spanish Trail and 3 miles of westward Ho. Pat, Judy, and Doug are officers of the Old Spanish Trail Association. Next week, we'll go somewhere interesting. Predicting seems foolish with the snow/sun yo-yo we've been experiencing. Tuesday 28. Meet at SF Visitors Center before 9 a.m. Plan on return no later than 4 p.m. Visitors or transients welcome.

West Alder walk

Great views of Del Norte Peak and all the land between there and here made us realize that our last Monday hike was special.

We're changing back to Tuesday hikes starting April 14 (not far off). We leave at 9:00 a.m. from the South Fork Visitors Center. We'll try to find a dry, warm hiking site--but then, who knows? Be prepared. Bring lunch or snack plus water.
