Plastic soda or water bottles make great inexpensive water bottles. A 2-liter bottle fits nicely into the side pocket of most backpacks.
Cooking over a fire
If you like to cook over an open fire, there is nothing like a small rubber hose to encourage reluctant wood, or coax a small ember to life. Start with a 3" piece of 3/8" aluminum or copper tubing. Slip an 18" piece of rubber tubing over the metal and you are ready for action. No more bending over with your face next to the fire trying to blow at just the right spot. One caution! Don't breathe in through the hose.

Join us for a fun day hike in Usery Mountain Recreation Area in East Mesa. Enjoy great views of the Goldfield, McDowell, and Superstition Mountains as we walk through beautiful Sonoran desert scenery. We may even see the fountain at Fountain Hills. This is a fun day hike that you won't want to miss. There will be a $5.00 entry fee per car so plan on carpooling. We can enjoy a barbecue afterwards at one of the ramadas. I'll bring the burgers/buns. Bring a side dish or munchies to share.
