October 2004 McDowell Mountain Month Activities

November 2004


We had a good turn out for the Open House; nearly 200 persons including staff attended.  SCFH signed up two new persons for trail building, two for guiding and sold several of the new T-shirts.  Attendees consumed four  gallons of ice cream.  "Crash" Marusch had a full house of over 50 persons listening to his talk of what is going on in McDowell Mountain County Park.

Liberty Wildlife presented for three hours with much audience participation.  There were booths displaying programs and membership forms from the McDowell Mountain Park Association, the Sonoran Land Trust, and the Sonoran Conservancy of Fountain Hills. 

Additionally, the SCFH conducted four scheduled hikes to the Western Loop, the Town Overlook, the Promenade, and the Town Lake Overlook trails during the month.
