If the weather is good, and the trail is relatively clear, Lil and I pla  to visit both Little and Big Arsenic Springs on Sat. 23rd.  The Trailhead starts at Wild Rivers campground in Cerro and is apparently a steep descent,( and steeper ascent!) .  We all should pack a lunch, lots of water, and meet at the old Gater's restaurant at -0930. Dress in layers! Again, this is only if we don't have the big snow they are talking about later on in the week!

I would love to go but have already committed to an Orilla Verde strategy meeting.  Both trails were snowy yesterday with about 6 inches (?) on the ground at the top.  I live in Arroyo Hondo and there is about an inch new on the ground this AM (tuesday).

Perhaps Steve and I can catch-up with Rebecca and Liz if you do decide to go? Would it be too much trouble to give me a call on my cell phone (702-250-6512) as you are leaving Gator's? - Mark

Great idea, Mark!  Let's hope for a nice day. My cell is 779-9205.
