What to do with Guests in the Summer? It’s tough to know what to do with guests when they come to visit in the summer. It’s especially tough this year amidst protocols in place to safeguard against COVID-19. In order to have the community pool open during this time, the Board of Directors has had to enact strict rules for the safety of the residents and to ensure pool times were maximized for residents. One of these rules pertains to not allowing guests at the pool. Please keep in mind, that, at this time, the MountainBrook Village Campus is available for use by Residents only. It won’t be forever, so, please be patient and know that it is for our residents’ safety. 1 Mountaineer July 2020 Board Highlights • Received the Activities Committee’s recommendation to close the task to research online ticket sales, and to Submitted by Janet Christopherson revisit the issue in the future Board Meeting Results – The Board ratified the Unani- • Approved the Architectural Committee’s recommen- mous Written Consents from June.

Thank you. 2 Mountaineer July 2020 no cost to anyone PLEASE VOTE YES Shadow Ridge I and Shadow Ridge II Road Maintenance Clarification All streets in MountainBrook Village are owned and maintained by Pinal County with the exception of the streets in the subdivisions of Shadow Ridge I & Shad- ow Ridge II. These streets were designated by the developer as private streets when the original plats were filed with the County. As a result, Pinal County from the beginning has had no responsibility for maintenance or im- provements on them. Early on, two (2) special Street Reserve Fund accounts were established to main- tain these streets in SRI and SRII. Street assessments paid only by SRI and SRII residents fund these accounts. These street assessments are paid semi-annually along with SRI and SRII’s regular HOA dues. These restricted funds can be used only for street repair/maintenance in SRI and SRII neighborhoods. They cannot be used for any other purpose nor can they be commingled with any oth- er HOA accounts. Last year Board members Jack Guthrie and Janet Swaim began discussions with Pinal County leaders to convert these private streets to public streets and for the County to assume all repair and maintenance responsibilities. We are pleased to tell you that the County is amenable to this proposition especially since we of- fered to give them SRI and SRII’s current street reserve balances to be used only on the streets in SRI and SRII. This will add SRI and SRII streets to Pinal Coun- ty’s street maintenance schedule and plan and the street assessments will no longer have to be paid by SR I and SR II residents. There is no cost to you. What it means to the residents of SRI and SRII is their private streets will become public streets and will then be placed in the Pi- nal County maintenance schedule for repairs along with all MBV roads. The residents of SRI and SRII are asking for your support by voting YES. Make sure your current address is on record with the MBV office so you will re- ceive the card in July with your voting number on it. Thank you V O T E V O T E Y E S V O T E Y E S Y E S no cost to anyone 3 Mountaineer July 2020 MountainBrook Pool Survey As part of the Communities’ long-term planning process, the Board assigned a task for the Planning Commit- tee to examine various options to upgrade the existing pools and spa to meet the needs of the community both to-day and in the future. This study will develop options based on MountainBrook user input gathered through focus groups, meetings and survey questionnaires. In addition, it will use baseline information from the 2019 HOA benchmark study conducted by the Planning Committee of other active adult communities in the area. Phase 1 focused on today’s safety and handicap needs. The recommendations to add a railing to the West Pool and reconstruct the stairs in both pools is being completed this summer. Phase 2 is the Community input stage and will be rolled out in 3 studies. 1. There will be a 10-question e-mail survey in August. For those who do not have a PC, there will be paper copies to be filled out at the office. 2. The Planning Committee will conduct in-depth focus group (and questionnaires) with active pool users in the summer (August/September) 3. As in (2) above, there will be a second round of focus group (and questionnaires) in November with active pool users that utilize the facilities mainly during the winter months. The social and recreational benefits of our pool area will be reviewed for both day and evening activities. The Planning Committee volunteers appreciate your input in the fashion you are most comfortable.

From here the trail heads west and north for about 1.5 miles, eventually dropping into a two- track road and drainage. Follow the drainage north for about 100 feet until it turns left (west) via the rocky drainage and follow this rocky two-track for approximately 150 feet. At this point there is new signage installed leading north (uphill) to a saddle. This is a newly constructed trail which passes through the saddle and leads downhill across a rugged and lush hillside, eventually arriving at FR4. After crossing FR4, the trail continues west and turns north as you work your way toward Picketpost Mountain. The trail will continue north and eventually wraps around to the west side of Picketpost and somewhat paralleling Alamo Canyon drainage until reaching the Picketpost Trailhead. Hike 13.6 miles; trailhead elevations 3471 feet south and 2399 feet north; net elevation change 1371 feet; accumulated gains 1214 northward and 2707 feet southward; RTD __ miles (dirt).

  • Arizona History AZT Passage 18-Reavis Canyon by Preston Sands
    Arizona History AZT Passage 18-Reavis Canyon by Preston Sands This passage of the AZT begins by the massive, fortress like Picketpost Mountain, which received its name from an old military camp on its northern slopes, Camp Picket Post. Around 1870, U.S. Army General George Stoneman established Camp Picket Post along Queen Creek in an attempt to protect the area from Apaches. Further east, in the Pinal Mountains at the site of today’s Top of the World village, Stoneman established another military post, Camp Pinal. To connect these two posts, Stoneman had his soldiers construct a trail, which came to be known as the Stoneman Grade. While Camp Pinal faded from the scene in 1871, the Stoneman Grade continued to be an important travel route in the area. To the east, nestled against the base of a cliff wall known as Apache Leap, is the historic mining town of Superior. Following the discovery of silver in 1875, the Silver Queen mine was born, and two small settlements, Hastings and Queen City, formed nearby. In 1897, miner and early Silver King resident George Lobb relocated to Hastings to develop a mine property there. Lobb sold his mining property to the Lake Superior and Arizona Mining Company in 1902, and the little community he had helped revive was renamed Superior after the company. Mining man Boyce Thompson and partner George Gunn purchased the old Silver Queen Mine holdings in 1910 and developed them into the Magma Mine, one of Arizona’s most productive early copper mines. A narrow gauge railroad, the Magma Arizona, was constructed in 1914 from the Florence area into Superior to serve the Magma Mine.

    Geologic field guide to the Copper Butte area, eastern Pinal County, Arizona by William R. Dickinson Emeritus Professor of Geology University of Arizona Arizona Geological Survey Contributed Report CR-OI-C November 2001 16 pages Arizona Geological Survey 416 W. Congress St., #100, Tucson, Arizona 85701 The Wonders of Copper Butte Arizona Geological Society Fall Field Trip, 17 November 2001 William R. Dickinson Department of Geosciences, University of Arizona, Tucson, Arizona 85721 Overview: Less than five miles southwest of the Ray open pit lies a geologic wonderland centered on the copper prospect at Copper Butte. Not only are the Tertiary stratigraphic and structural relationships wondrous - a microcosm of challenges faced in deciphering southern Arizona geology - but the copper deposit is wondrous in its own way, and you will have the opportunity on this trip to make up your own mind about its origin based on what you can see for yourself in the field. This excursion is a detective story and it is your job as a participant to solve the whodunit! To your own satisfaction, at least. Databank: Areal geologic relationships around Copper Butte have been depicted at various scales by Phillips (1976), Creaseyet al. (1983), Keith (1986), Dickinson (1995), and Richard and Spencer (1998). A geologic map (and legend) of the local Copper Butte area from the Dickinson (1995) report and a segment of the regional Richard and Spencer (1998) map are included in this field trip guide. Assembly Point [Tucson contingent]: Parking lot at Oracle and Magee. Assemble at 6 AM for the drive to the first stop at 8 AM.

Volcanism not only formed the oldest rocks in Arizona 1.8 bi11ion years (b.y.) ago, but also constructed the State's highest mountains, the San Francisco Peaks, within the last 3 million years (m.y.).

    News and Information on the State’s border-to-border Arizona Trail project Vol. 11, No. 2 – Summer 2005 Governor Napolitano Honors Arizona Trail Arizona’s Governor Janet Napolitano and other state leaders traveled to the Arizona Trail Picketpost Trailhead near Superior, Arizona, on April 8, 2005, to conduct special outdoor ceremonies designating the Arizona Trail as one of the “Arizona Treasures.” And, she took the time to actually hike a part of the Trail! The Governor’s office and the Arizona Office of Tourism have initiated the “Arizona Treasure” program to help promote tourism in our state. The Arizona Trail was selected for this honor because of its scenic beauty and the statewide ecotourism opportunities it offers for recreation and environmental education. The special recognition and award ceremonies were part of a big kickoff campaign for the Copper Butte Project, one of the most challenging Arizona Trail construction projects ever undertaken. Many of our Arizona Trail agency Arizona Trail founder Dale Shewalter, left, accepts the coveted partners, ATA members, and local area elected officials and “Arizona Treasures” plaque from Governor Janet Napolitano at community leaders attended the Governor’s special tribute special trailhead ceremonies on the Tonto National Forest near ceremonies at the trailhead.
