RENEGADE RAMBLE. Day 16: (a short one) 2.5 Miles. Total Distance Thus Far: 107.2 Miles
I am seeking $20 donations for each mile but will accept any amount: ProtectOurPreserve.org/donate. We only need another $1500 to meet our goal of $25,000 by the end of July!
Brown’s Ranch Trailhead. Brown’s Ranch Road. Powerline Road #2. Upper Ranch Trail. Wrangler Trail. Brown’s Ranch Road back to Trailhead.
An old friend needed to be picked up at the airport at 8:45 am, so I didn’t have much time this morning. I was able to check a couple of small sections of the SW corner of Brown’s Ranch off the list. I talked to about a dozen people, so the time was well-spent.
I’ve included a couple of photos from the hike, but the real excitement happened this evening at the Arizona Heritage Center. Please watch this short segment of Len Marcisz speaking {it seemed} directly to my soul.
“We Preserve what we value and what we Preserve reflects the values that we have. So what I would suggest in the interest of keeping this short, is that if you want to understand the values of the McDowell Sonoran Conservency, take a hike!”
