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.







ALPINE-CLIFTON BACKPACK
Date: May 7 - 9
Leader: Kurt Sedler

There are diverse landscapes as you hike from the top of Rose Peak, along Stray Horse Creek, to the Blue River and then down to Fritz Canyon and the Fritz Ranch. Along the way, there are old cabins, deep canyons, waterfalls and even a hot spring. While hiking we might see big horn sheep, deer, elk, eagles, opossums, as well as some close encounters with some bad mannered black bears. In addition to all of this, we'll enjoy the year round water, and, most of all, by using shuttle vehicles - the whole trip is down hill!
