Mt. Lemon

Winter still hasn't hit us here in Tucson yet.  Today is December 7th and the high temp is supposed to be 74*--- that is warmer than my whole summer was in Oregon!  Not complaining, it is PERFECT weather.But one morning we decided to head to higher ground for cool afternoon in the mountains.  It was really pretty up there.  We climbed up to over 8000 feet (elevation) in about 40 min.  It's nice to know a cool mountain retreat isn't far away at all.  The kids had a great time climbing logs, finding sticks, pine cones, and rocks, and throwing leaves.

I've never seen one of these signs before... and I grew up in and middle of the forest.  FREAKY!  I probably won't want to go camping here anytime soon.
