"I returned to the canyon (Ramsey Canyon) in the spring of 1983 after our move to Green Valley in October 1982. I was with a group of "birders" from Green Valley. I inquired about availability of the cabins on the Preserve and was told they usually were rented a year in advance but on rare occasions there were cancellations. We benefited from one of the rare cancellations and were able to spend three days in Sycamore cabin on July 18, 19, & 20th, 1983. We liked the canyon and cabin, we reserved Sycamore cabin for a week in July 1984. We also joined the Nature Conservancy, more on that later."
