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.







WILSON MOUNTAIN TRAIL
Date: May 1
Leader: Mark Kroneman

The trailhead begins off Highway 89A just east of the Midgely Bridge. Switchbacks, Manzanita bushes, and red soil are common in the early stages of the hike. As we approach the summit, the desert terrain gives way to a ponderosa forest. Once at the top of the mountain, hikers can opt for a ¼ mile or a 1-¼ mile hike to various lookout points. Afterwards, we will quench our thirst at the Original Oak Creek Brewery.
