Storm: Point 5506, San Pedro Vista, Meadow Trail Loop – 10/9/2014

Lemmon Rock Lookout – Storms – 2014/8/2
Ominous clouds covered the mountain, but when we got out of the car there was no rain or lightning – just wonderful shade and cool temperatures. We took different trails down from the Summit Trailhead – the Mount Lemmon Trail and Aspen Trail, then onto the Wilderness of Rock Trail and up the Lemmon Rock Trail – we raced to be the first up the steep climb to the Lemmon Rock Lookout – I was second up the trail and all I saw were footprints until we met at the top…
Clouds from the Bear Canyon Trail – 2014/7/20
Night from the Pontatoc Ridge Trail – 2014/1/5
Hiked the Pontatoc Ridge Trail to the ‘End of Trail’ sign – Sunset and darkness on the trail with Alison. We were later than planned and returned to find one of our car windows smashed – nothing of note to steal so just glass shards and insurance to deal with – not the only time we know of this happening at this trailhead.
