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.







Four Peaks Hike (Browns Trail)
Date: Dec 20  
Leader: Mike Harren

Length: 4 miles R/T
Rating: Moderate
The hike went very well. We had six in attendance. There was snow on the dirt road and the trail making for some slippery conditions, but it was no big deal (except that I had to put rocks in the bed of my 2WD pickup to get enough traction for one snowpacked incline). This hike offered some great views of the Superstitions. I returned via the Apache Trail, which starts near Roosevelt Lake. I would recommend this drive to anyone who hasn't yet done it.
