Two faces of Arizona

View of the mountains just north of the valley

Last weekend my family went camping with a group of people from church. It was pretty warm in the Valley, even for Arizona it has been hot for this time of year. reaching degrees in the mid to high 90's. I was looking forward to getting into some cooler weather up on the Mogollon Rim. Well by the time we got there, just before the sun went down., it was a lot cooler. We were prepared with coats, my sleeping bag was rated for as low as the temperature got, and I was reminded that I really do like warmer weather. Saturday morning it was still cold but as soon as the sun came up it warmed up nicely. After breakfast, while we broke camp, the kids walked to the lake (with adult supervision of course). It was beautiful. I'm glad I went it had been a long time since I had been camping.
