We finally got around to driving to the the top of Mount Lemmon (~8,000' elevation). John and Terri went with us. At the base of the mountain there were signs warning that chains or 4x4 vehicles were required past a certain point. At around the 5,500' level, we began to encounter snow on the sides of the road. As we continued the ascent the amount of snow increased. The roads had been plowed and were in good condition. The warning signs were "out of date". We stopped at a couple of roadside vistas for pictures. At one stop, John and I managed to find a geocache. We drove past the ski lift, watched a guy digging his vehicle out of the snow, then around to the small community of Summerhaven, where kids were sledding on the snow.
On the way back to the RV park, we stopped at John and Terri's favorite BBQ restaurant...Famous Dave's. It was great food, then home for some cards and Pegs & Jokers.
