camping on Mt. Graham

Yunuen and I went camping with Ben and Lis this weekend up Mt. Graham in the Coronado National Forest. It’s about 9000 feet above sea level, so the drastic change in temperature was a nice change. It’s been in the 100s for weeks now. It was in the 50s-70s on the trip, which we weren’t exactly prepared for. It was a little cold at night to say the least. We had a lot of fun hiking and sitting around the fire. We did really well with the food. Friday night we had salmon with rice and on Saturday we had steaks with sauted vegetables (squash, peppers, scallions, onions, zucchini). It was yumlicious. Carl, the camp ranger, was quick to warn us of the bobcats, black bears, and rattle snakes. We were attacked our first night by a mouse. I had my machete, so we were safe. Ben and I chopped wood with his new axe nearly sufficient to supply the entire campground. Chopping wood is fun.

We definately hope to return soon or find another equally tranquil location.
