Mt. Graham, AZ - 3/17/2005

This is a camping trip I took with the young adult group comprised of people from Catalina United Methodist Church and First United Methodist Church in Tucson. The campsite is on Mt. Graham in the Coronado National Forest which is also the mountain for the famous International Observatory . This was primarily a religious retreat, so the pace was not as frantic as many of my other trips. That's a good thing too, gotta rest sometime. That being said, we did have some adventures like gail force winds the 1st night=no rest :( , a hike to a really cool waterfall and a cross country off trail scrambling adventure. All in all a good trip with some unique stories to tell, including the one about our van battery dying... Feel free to add comments or if you want add some photos.

To add photos or to edit the photo descriptions login as guest and use my favorite item for chopping wood as the password (all lowercase).

A nice small waterfall. It was a hoot getting down here to take this, looked to people above like I was going to slide off the cliff.

A raging camp fire with Dayna, Stacie, Sarai and David. This fire was really cooking, we put a huge log across the top of the rock fire ring. It basically was burning just on the bottom and along the sides, however it did not...
