well seeing that this one died previously because of scheduling between various parties... i thought it might make sense to try to plan this one early and knock it out in the fall. anyone still interested?
October and November seem like the months most likely to work.

I can't do Saturdays. If it changes to a non-Steeler sunday, I'm in.

If we get some more rain then Romero should be a good choice since we'd be able to drop by the pools...

So I'm thinking of doing this as a training hike for a future "harder hike"

. I'm going to Tucson Sept 18-19 for another event. I was wondering what the
real drive time is from the convention center to Ski Valley(mapquest 20 mins). And from Ski Valley back to Catalina State park so I can work out logistics,times,etc. Can anyone hook me up with realtime info? Thanks

Looks like I may have to do an out and back

Convincing my wife to drive 2hours just to pick up my car after she just drove 2 hours will be... she'll just :roll: and

It's probably about 1.5 hours to the top of Lemmon from TCC assuming traffic is normal on Catalina Highway...

That's It. I chose Mt Lemmon Ski Valley and came up with 20mins which I didn't think could be correct. It must of been like Mt Lemmon Ski Valley (Realty or something)
