Girl On A Mountain

Posted on by

Had a lovely hiking date with my granddaughter yesterday.  We drove 30 miles and 7000 vertical feet to the top of Mt. Lemmon and walked a little bit of the Meadow Trail.  Many of the dead trees from the 2003 fire have now fallen, leaving copious material from which someone had built a couple of shelters.  How could a five year old not explore them?

What a sweet afternoon.  Chilly, but beautiful.

Mila Paints On Mt Lemmon

Last Saturday, Mila and I went out to the woods.  We took along some snacks and some paint.  We went to a mystery location on Mt Lemmon and found a suitable place to leave our treasures behind.  It was a nice little ledge behind a small tree.

Then we each painted several small rocks and arranged them for future explorers to find and wonder about.

I somehow neglected to get a photo of her painting, but here is proof that she did.
