Le Buzz Cafe |
Good morning fellow hiking enthusiasts,
Due to some scheduling conflicts with other scheduled service projects and work, with the Truly Nolen community car show, I am having to change the date from Saturday, November 9 to the previous Sunday, November 3.
We will still be hiking the Bug Spring trail on Mount Lemmon but will be treating as a point-to-point hike of 4.5 miles and 1,961 feet in vertical gain. This hike is categorized as difficult but we are expected to have cool conditions on the mountain that day with morning temperatures around 40 degrees and an afternoon high of 60. We will meet at LeBuzz around 7:15AM for 7:30AM departure. Hike times should be from 8:30-ish until 12PN.
As this is going to be a point-to-point hike and 2 vehicles are required, please RSVP if you are able to attend. This will allow me to confirm transportation prior to.
See you on the trails!
Bruce Richardson.
Questions or concerns, etc. contact Bruce at bruce.richardson@trulynolen.com

| 2024-12-07 07:45:00Z | Dec. 07, 2024 | Hiking Fellowship ~ Brown Mountain 12/7 |
Dec. 07, 2024 7:45 a.m. - 12:00 p.m. |
I just wanted to get the final reminder for our hike on Saturday, 12/7 at 8AM. Projected weather for this weekend looks great and we should have a beautiful trek in the Tucson Mountains. Temperatures as we begin will be in the upper 40's and should reach the low 60's at completion with sunny conditions.
This is the official advisement of the final scheduled hike for the calendar year, 2024 and we have a great one lined up in the Tucson Mountains! Please join me for a morning on the Brown Mountain Loop, departing from the Brown Mountain Picnic Area next door to the Desert Museum. This is a great little loop hike that takes you on the ridge overlooking the Sonoran Desert Museum, Gilbert Ray campground and offers great views of the backside of the Tucson Mountains. This is a moderate hike covering 4.2 miles and 688 vertical feet with hike times projected at 3 hours from beginning to end.
We will meet at the Brown Mountain Picinic area beginning at 7:45AM for an 8AM departure. This access allows for sufficient parking so we will just meet there and no carpool necessary. I will check in as we get closer with updates on anticipated conditions and any time changes that might occur. Contact Bruce Richardson bruce.Richardson@trulynolen.com.
See you on the trails!

| 2025-01-11 07:45:00Z | Jan. 11, 2025 | Hiking Fellowship ~ Phoneline Trail ~ January 11th |
Jan. 11, 2025 7:45 a.m. - 1:00 p.m. |
The first trek of this new year is in 9 days on Saturday, January 11th. It will provide a few options to choose from, dependent upon your own preference of distance. We will be enjoying the Phoneline Trail which offers multiple distinct options. The Phoneline Link Loop which is about 4.5 miles. An out and back to King Arthur's table or any point on the trail, really, which will extend to your chosen mileage. There is always the Phoneline Trail out and back of 9.8 miles. Lastly there is the full Phoneline Loop Trail with return on the tram road which is about 11 miles roundtrip.
Current weather forecast has the morning low in the 40's with an anticipated high of mid 60's under sunny skies. Due to the cooler temps, we will start a little later but still want to meet at 7:45AM for departure at 8AM. This will assure parking as the winter demand will be starting anytime now. Meeting place is at the Bear Canyon gate on the east end of the lot.
I hope that many will be joining on this always favorite of mine, and see you on the trails! Contact Bruce Richardson
