Mogollon Rim Post
On our way to higher elevations this am. Stopped for lunch right by BSA Camp Geronimo.
This is the Mogollon Rim which rises a couple thousand feet to a high mesa. We'll be climbing this afternoon to the top where we'll have colder temps and probably snow tonight. Fortunately, there's supposed to be a roofed shelter on top where we hope to stay the night (and tomorrow if the weather sours).
The stay in Pine was fabulous - just like being on vacation at a mountain resort in a pine forest. I'll never stop being amazed at the generosity and hospitality of Scout families and others I meet.

You guys hiding out in the railroad tunnel? Shudda stayed in Pine a couple more days! LOL Last year it was 100 in Phoenix on April 1.

Jeff - I looked for the tunnel but couldn't find it. I expect the tracking device just spit out its last ping around there and I turned it off before it had time to ping at our final destination for the night. I've heard from a few people that this 'should' be the last snow of the year, but I'm not convinced.
