Trail Running in Globe by Patti Daley
R
eid Burrows, 27, an ultramarathoner from New Brunswick, Canada, has run all over the U.S., and for two weeks in March 2022, he ran around Globe. “Globe is a hidden gem for the trail community,” he says. “It’s a hidden gem in Arizona.” Reid came to Arizona to train for the Canyons Endurance Run, a 100-kilometer route with a 16,000-foot ascent. The event will be held in California on April 23rd. The top three finishers get into Western States 100, an iconic 100 mile race. “I was looking everywhere around the Phoenix and Tucson areas and saw this tiny town surrounded by mountains,” Reid says.

RCAC Comes to Globe
Reid Burrows, who came to Globe to train for a 100-kilometer route in April, says Globe was just the place to focus on training. He found trails, like the 651, that were still open despite many closures due to the fires last year in the Pinals.

The Return of Our Forests by Patricia Sanders
When the Telegraph and Mescal fires blazed across the hills, searing the earth and sending much of the vegetation up in smoke, it probably looked like the end of the world – or at least the end for the forest. The reality is less apocalyptic – and the fires could even turn out to benefit much of the land they burned. According to UofA fire ecologist Molly Hunter, it takes about a year after a fire to determine what its long-term effects will be. For the Telegraph and Mescal fires, an assessment will be undertaken this summer. Then we’ll have a better idea how long recovery will take, and what it will look like in various areas.

Jim Lindstrom’s Oh-Sew-Interesting Hobby by Deborah Dove
“I’ve always had a weird fascination with cameras and sewing machines”
While COVID-19 presented numerous challenges for most Americans, for Globe’s Jim Lindstrom, the pandemic also launched a new passion: restoring old sewing machines. A modern-day Renaissance man of sorts, the Pickle Barrel Trading Post manager was already a gifted graphic designer, gardener, and photographer. But about a year ago, when he grew bored with photography, he revisited his childhood interest in sewing machines.
