CHANGED! Saturday, January 7 - Moderate snowshoe. A 5-mile RT up to Scooter Peak above the Valles Caldera. Due to the packed snow on the larger lower section of the trail, traction on your boots or just boots will be easier than snowshoes. The last 1/2 mile up is off trail. Please be prepared to carry your snowshoes for the lower portion. Nice views of the Valle Grande and beyond. About a 1,000 ft. climb. Alan Shapiro, (505) 424-9242, Nm5s@yahoo.com

ADDED! Sunday, January 8 -- Easy/moderate loop hike to Picacho Peak and nearby area on the Dale Ball Trails. About 3-4 miles and 1000' gain, so this one is short but has plenty of uphill. Moderately fast pace, lunch with a view. Icy spots likely, so bring your micro spikes, yak trax, or other traction devices. Dogs ok with leash. Mary Thompson mary14er@gmail.com, (505) 469 9499

December 1 - Thursday -- from 6 to 7:30pm
South Side Library, 6599 Jaguar Drive, Santa Fe

The City of Santa Fe will give an update on plans for what to do with its 'waste water'. Many cities treat effluent to drinking-water standards and use that as part of their drinking water supply. A more common use is to treat the water and send it to the next user downstream. With 'new sources' of water nearly non-existent in the arid Southwest, any source of water is precious.

9 am - 5 pm, Thursday, November 17
