In this episode:We're warned that we'll need to use our hands on the exposed rock up Mount Lemmon.It's hard but fun with a companion, exactly the same age and speed, who talks non-stop.The views to the desert are glorious, but nothing compared to the hoodoo forest of wind and water-worn rock in fanciful shapes. Streams abound, cool and fresh before it's deep in forest that seems to go on forever through changing biomes, as if traveling from Mexico to Canada. We arrive just in time to get pizza in Summerhaven, before heading down the Oracle Ridge to a flat spot at Dan's Saddle, just as the moon rises. MUSIC: Air de Chacarera by Horacio Salgan and Poema del Pastor Coya by Angel Lasala as played by Alison Young, flute and Vicki Seldon, pianoSupport the show
