Congratulations are in order for Pete Williams, president of the PebbleCreek Hiking Club, who needed just one more mile to reach a major milestone and on July 14, reached and passed 5,000 miles on a short hike with six other PC hikers in the Agua Fria National Monument at the Badger Springs exit on I-17 (this area is unique in that an interstate exit puts you right at the trailhead). Pete has been hiking with the club since 2006 and a quick calculation shows that he has averaged over 600 miles a year for eight years. The hiking club conducts hikes five days a week during the regular season (September to April) with a hike for almost every level of fitness and conducts two exploratory hikes a week during the summer. Visit the club’s website at pchikers.org for more information and pictures.
