Led by SaddleBrooke Hiking Club guide Michael Reale (far left), six hikers took the David Yetman Trail last month. From left to right after Michael are Norm and Janis Rechkemmer, Tiggy and Walt Shields and Fred Norris. Along the way, they spotted two very interesting crested saguaros and lunched at the ruins of a stone house built in the 1930s by Sherry Bowen and his wife Ruby. The Bowens came from Rockford, Illinois, for health reasons and he became city editor of the Arizona Daily Star before leaving in 1944 to join the Associated Press in New York City. The homestead became a part of Tucson Mountain Park in 1983. Photo by Sandra Sowell
