A big thanks to the Tumacacori Mission National Historic Park for it’s donation of a Tuff Shed.  ATCA has needed a clean, dry storage space for a long time.  Trail Crew (left to right) Jerry, Glenn, Kurt, and Dan (Trail Boss and photographer) installed it today.  A big thanks to these guys for all their work, too.        June 3, 2024 

Another on-going project underway in June, 2024, is the installation of distance markers along the trail roughly every quarter mile.  These markers are intended to help first respoders find hikers who are in distress more quickly.  Thanks to Keith Brown, who initially proposed the project and has worked hard to get markers in place, his wife Judy, who has been there every step of the way, and Trail Crew members Jerry and Kurt who have facilitated this project in many ways.   Thanks, too, the the Juan Bautista National Historical Trail branch of the National Park Service for the mileage decals and the ATCA for those very expensive posts
