I'll be in Tucson that weekend! I would love to join you folks, but I will be doing a hike on Mt. Lemmon to Wilderness of Rocks and Lemmon Pools, in addition to recerting my WFR at UA Outdoor Recreation club.
A gorgeous fun-filled summer is ending! I have to start driving the school bus on Aug 12. I remember a few years ago thinking Aug 22 was way too soon to start school, but Aug 12 is just nutso. What are these school administrators thinking, making kids (and employees) go back to school in the nicest, greenest, floweriest part of the high mountain summer? I think it stinks, big time. Shows they have no connection to nature or how people feel about it. Makes me feel sort of sick inside. If I were a kid, I'd ditch. When I was growing up in CA we went to school from early Sept to early June, not Aug to May. |

Can't have a GHOTM without the food. I am thinking we can do a potluck for Saturday PM & perhaps Sunday AM breakfast ? Post what you are thinking about & I will get the food list going ..... _________________ Photos: http://www.pbase.com/desertgirl/galleries
