On Saturday, February 22, the SaddleBrooke Hiking Club had seventeen hikers participate in the 13th Annual MOVE ACROSS TWO RANGES Event. This fantastic event begins with hiking in the beautiful Tortolita Mountains and concludes with a hike in Catalina State Park. There was a challenge for everyone: 7.5 miles, 10 miles, 14.5 miles and 18.5 miles.
The SaddleBrooke hikers that participated in the event were:
- Five Miles - Margaret Valair, Kaori Hashimoto, David Remy, Denny Teusch, Beth Remy,
- and Christine Vanhoozer.
- Five Miles - Terry McCarthy and Molly Kovash
- 10 miler – Ruth Caldwell, Holly Bukes, David Wemmer, Kristy Johnson, Johanna Pawelczyk, Missy Rodey
- and Maria Szentirmai
- Five Miles - Marc Humphrey and Nancy Reed
The morning was brisk for the start of their hike in the Tortolita Mountains. Everyone was enthusiastic as they stepped off on their individual trails. After the morning section in the Tortolitas, they headed to Catalina State Park for the second portion. The 10-mile and 7.5-mile groups caught up with each other and trekked the second portion of the hike together.
When they were done hiking, the event wrapped up with an after party, with food, beverages and LOTS of great raffle prizes.
All of the participants enjoyed the event and look forward to participating in the event again next year!
