A beautiful drive up to Mt. Lemmon took us out of the heat of Tucson to the cool of the mountains. From flat and hot desert to hilly saguaro studded mountains then on up to Arizona's Hoo-Doos and finally the pine forest. It was about 25 degrees cooler and a welcome relief. The very small town of Summerhaven was devasted several years ago when the Aspen fire took out 320 homes and the entire town. Now there are some charred trees still standing and a lot of rebuilding. The general store had every kind of fudge you could imagine and we sampled and bought and will enjoy some tonight for dessert! Tomorrow is laundry day as we prepare to leave Tucson on Wednesday. We'll try to spend a bit of time downtown as well seeing some of the things we missed the first day we were here.
