Great Peaks of Arizona List plus meetup.com hiking groups

1. Great Peaks of Arizona list

Recently Eric Kinneman mentioned the Great Peaks of Arizona
list. This was intriguing, as there are many AZ peak lists
on Peakbagger, Lists of John and www.peakbagging.com, but
I'd never heard of this one. Hmmm ... maybe Bob Packard
was also clueless here ... I could scamper off and ... hmmm.

Some Googling turned up the list - on a T shirt
sold by American Backcountry:
http://tinyurl.com/ztt5fkn

If you zoom in on the picture (attached) you can see
31 peaks listed - none other than the 32 most
prominent peaks in Arizona, minus Miller Peak.
Eleven of these are County High Points.
Not sure why Miller was excluded, but I suggest anyone
chasing this project ink it on to your T shirt and
get a clean sweep of the top 32.
Of course Bob Packard completed this project
long before Moses bagged Mount Sinai.

To spice things up, it turns out Amazon is selling
an American Backcountry T shirt with _another_ version
of the list (Yikes!):
http://tinyurl.com/jqu8uz8

This version has 41 peaks, with 18 big prominence peaks
(which include 8 cohps). The remaining peaks are
an odd mix of well known summits and some real
obscure ones like East Pocket, Secret
Mountain, Jacks Canyon, Bear Saddle 6,960 and Josephine Saddle.

The two saddles will of course cause any
true peakbagger to get beet red and foam at the mouth.
But Bob Martin did write a book on hiking to saddles:
https://amzn.com/0871086689 and Josephine Saddle is enroute
to the listed Mount Wrightson, so you can tag it "for free".
Now it is true that I can't figure out where Bear Saddle is,
but on the bright side maybe Dr. Packard has the same problem ? ;)

2. meetup.com hiking groups

Eric got me curious about the TLC hiking group on meetup.com:
Phoenix AZ -
https://www.meetup.com/TLC-Hiking-Group/

and I checked out some other meetup hiking groups:

Phoenix AZ - Hiking Hikers Hiking Group - 4877 members:
https://www.meetup.com/threeh/

Tucson AZ - Hiking Meetup Group - 6824 members:
https://www.meetup.com/tucsonhiking/

NYC - Hudson Valley Hikers - 22,197 members:
https://www.meetup.com/hvhikers/

It is encouraging to see the number of folks hitting
the trails. Now if we can just brainwash a few
of them to chase cohps.
