Up Mt. Lemmon
Tour 3 : Mt. Lemmon
The Forest Snow
Yes,
it does snow in the desert- except you have to be nearly 10,000 feet in
the air to get to it. This shot shows the Mt. Lemmon area, near the Ski
Valley, with a lush layer of that white stuff which the desert rarely
sees.
When it snowed in the Tucson-basin below Mt.
Lemmon on January 17, 1995 it was when EMOL.og first went online
(actually, it began snowing as the first pages were being uploaded! That
was a wonderful sight!)

Javelina? No Thanks. Already had one.
Javelina's live at the top of the mountain?? I don't think so.
Here, from the Arizona-Sonora Desert
Museum, former-curator Hal Gross (a once popular figure on the local TV
scene), shows a group of students a live javelina during a demonstration
for one of the publisher's fields trips in the early 1980's.
