Flagstaff Fridays

Abert's Squirrel, looking for food

We are back. Jack has been having email issues so hasn't been able to email his list. He provides such a wonderful service to the community. If you want a complete copy of his walks you can get one at one of his starting locations- or check the Arizona Daily Sun. Thank you, Jack, for all of your work.

The Rio de Flag is one of Flagstaff's hidden jewels. I hope to learn more about this greenbelt.
