Did they say snow???

The temperature has been in the low 80's, clear, sunny with a nice breeze.   Well, as they say all good things must come to an end.   The prediction for Sunday is 50+ mph winds.   In a sticks & bricks structure that's not too exciting, but in an RV it can be!   And they are  also predicting snow the first part of the week.   Yes, I said snow.   We shall see.  

We thought we would get a head start on the snow, so we took a drive up Mount Lemmon,  part of the  Santa Catalina Mountain Range.  A visit to Mount Lemmon is a scenic hour-long drive from Tucson through a lush, forested area with an elevation of over  9000 ft.   It is known for skiing & hiking, with a few restaurant and shops.    We really enjoyed the drive and stopped to have lunch at  the Iron Door Restaurant.

As you begin your drive up the mountain you
see a  vast area of all saguaro cactus.

Once you reach 4,500 elevation the saguaros disappear
and there are acres of pine and conifers.

We see great beauty in piles of rocks!

Apparently he does too.   Braver than I am!   There are several
trails, but I didn't even tackle one, as I usually do.

And we found snow!

All in all it was a nice way to spend a day.

Hope all is well!
