Summer Hiking Season On Mt. Lemmon 2 comments
The SCVN Friday Hikes began this past Friday (June 7th) with a short hike up to the old ski run.
Ricki Mensching loves leading this hike each year
and the opportunity to share some the history of the original ski run on Mt. Lemmon.
As the hikers gathered at the base of the ski run they noticed smoke coming from a camp fire on up the ski slop.
Campers had left the camp fire without making sure the fire was out. Sadly, this kind of happening is not unusual.
We call 911 and the nearby Summer Haven fire department came and extinguished the fire.
On this same day a very large uncontained forest fire began burning in the Tonto National Forest northeast of Phoenix.
This marks the beginning of the fire season in Arizona, most all of which are man-made.
After getting the fire under control, Ricky continued her narration on the old ski run,
before continuing the hike to the top of the ski run.

“. . . vistas I never thought I would paint

I never thought I would restore the experience
in words, I never thought I would write.”

Hiking To The Top 3 comments

would love to feel
old abilities
coming on strong
weaken more by age
still trying
to spread
my wings
mountains on the left
mountains on the right
reaching deep inside
opening those
old doors
releasing those
old strengths
I can climb
I know I can
I can climb
to the top
in search
of those old feelings
now only in my dreams
trying to deal with
too much stuff
still can’t get enough
keep on climbing
sucking more air
a whole lot of air
I can climb
I know I can
mountains on the left
mountains on the right
still, miles to go
one switchback at a time
posing
for the fleet of foot
and young at heart
as I catch my breath
I can climb
I know I can
under indigo skies
mountains to climb
following old images
painted with the
brush of experience
sometimes I get lost
in a lapse of time
lapse into a blur
this time around
as I near the top
looking out over
my imagination
life is more
dramatic
extreme
highs and lows
time to rest
slowed by the winds
blowing dust, when
suddenly the winds stop
all the windmills stop
a vision of death
where are the desires?
where are the myths?
where are the models?
I’m at the top
the view is exciting —
true excitement
comes only
from being there.
