Since 2007 the SaddleBrooke Hiking Club has participated in a biannual cleanup of Catalina Hills Drive from SaddleBrooke Blvd to its entrance into the Preserve as part of the Adopt-A-Highway program of Pinal County. On November 28, nine members of the club spent time on a treasure hunt along the highway. In addition to the usual beer cans and Jack Daniels bottles, the unique find of the day was an intact child’s guitar. You never know what lurks out there.

Everyone came away with a good feeling that, in our small way, we left the community a better place.

Many thanks to the nine members participating: Jeanine Storrs, Jan Springer, Suzanne Bassett, Linda Bowers, Larry Allen, Tiggy Shields, Pam Wakefield, Time Butler and Walt Shields, organizer.
