Little guy takes a big ride on The Loop
A local family completed the entire Chuck Huckelberry Loop Feb. 6 with a 3-year-old leading the way.
Young Jaxson rode point with brother Jasper and parents Heidi Harley and Art Torrance joining along on a final one-mile stretch from the Julian Wash Archeological Park to the trailhead at Silver Lake Road and Santa Cruz Lane.
“As far as we know, Jaxson, at 3 years, 9 months, may be the youngest person yet to ride the whole Loop!” Harley said.

Monitoring pygmy owls helps County biologists balance conservation efforts with development plans
Hiking through the desert in search of pygmy owls was all part of a day's work for three Pima County wildlife biologists who spent an early autumn morning on County-managed ranch property near Three Points to monitor the elusive bird.
They were there doing the County’s due diligence under the Sonoran Desert Conservation Plan and the related Multi-species Conservation Plan, County policies that require monitoring of federally listed endangered species as well as non-listed species on lands the County either owns or manages.
