11 May

Tucson, AZ

Mount Lemmon
Damn Colleen is about as easy to get a picture of as I am.
She took us up Mt Lemmon not far from their home.  We were at 9100 feet.  Guess you could say we were really high.
Then we took a ski lift (yes, they can ski in Arizona when they're that high) up to the top and hiked up to a geocache.
The road is 23 miles of winding switchbacks.  The Subie was way confused after driving through the desert the day before.
They had a fire on the mountain a number of years ago, and while it's regrowing, the scars still show.
 

They have rebuilt the cabins that burned down, and they are beautiful A frames and cabins perched on the side of the mountain.  Not happening for this flatlander!
