Wednesday March 6th
We decided to drive up to Mount Lemmon today; Mount Lemmon is the big mountain N of Tucson that is high enough to have a ski area and other attractions. It's about 28 miles to the area known as Summerhaven, which is a small town with a few stores and a couple of restaurants. It's an interesting ride watching the plants change from desert to alpine. The road is of course very curvy and without much traffic it was very enjoyable because I could drive at my own speed and enjoy some of the scenery. We had lunch at one of the restaurants on top; I knew it would be pricey but even I was surprised at the cost of a meal!
Coming back I offered Cathey the option of going down the north side, which is unpaved but she declined. That route would take you to Oracle on the NW side of Tucson.
