Because of COVID restrictions, club hiking groups are limited to no more than 12 hikers and meet and depart from separate PebbleCreek areas. On Jan. 29, a cool, partly cloudy morning, the B hiking group and the C group unexpectedly met on the exposed rock ledges above Willow Springs in the White Tanks. The C hikers were finishing lunch, but the B hikers decided it was too cool and breezy to stop and decided to wait for a more sheltered area in Ford Canyon on the return half of their 10-mile hike. However, since the two groups were together for a few minutes, they took advantage of the opportunity and took a photo of the combined groups before leaving to complete their individual hikes. Fortunately, hiking remains a viable, healthy activity during COVID. The club enjoys interesting hikes such as this all around the valley.
