In 1989, I worked at the Santa Cruz School on Hwy 82, west of the Patagonia Mountains and Mt. Washington. As the sponsor of a hiking club, I began to work on the trail to Mt. Washington to use as a hike for the club. A few weeks project turned into years as I built the trail north and south of the road. (actually, improved, for it did exist, but in VERY poor conditon. Illegals, animals, and hunters keep it open) I pushed the trail gradually south to just south of the saddle between 7211 and Mt. Washington by the spring of 1993, when my life situation changed and I stopped, soon moving away from Nogales.
Also, as to "Veterans Peak," I left on its summit a plaque on December 7, 1991 , the 50th anniversary of Pearl Harbor on a snowy afternoon. Perhaps someone found this, and named the peak. Just a few little facts of history.
