Kit and Carol on the Road

It was a very pleasant 74 degrees today --perfect for hiking and pool time. But last Friday was the second rain/snow storm to hit Tucson. We hid out all day. Saturday we went to visit Bob and Gloria in Green Valley and drove up to Madeira Canyon where the kids were up playing in the snow. We hope to be able to drive up Mt. Lemoon before we leave but another storm (20% chance) is on the way.

In between storms we've had some great hike and bike trips. Kit and I went on a nice hike up Sabino Canyon last week. Today we went with the Hiking Club up Pima Canyon. I don't know how many times we had to cross the creek on rocks almost under water. Most of us escaped with only slightly wet feet. It was an interesting hike in a desert riparian area.

Sunday and Monday we biked. Sunday we headed towards town. We had a vague idea of getting to the Gem show but the roads were so torn up we gave up finding Centreville. Instead we went to the U to the Arizona Museum which was most interesting--on Arizona natives and Arizona minerals. Monday we biked out to the NP. This nice ride is all uphill on the way out (less than 7 mi) but a nice coast home. If I did this everyday I would be in good shape.

Kirsten is coming tomorrow and alas the weather is changing. What will be...
