Question!!!! I am going to have a mini trip with a friend and the new car to Tucson. I was wondering were some good picnic spots are, silly/interesting picture spots or any points of interest that you know is cool. i have heard Mt. Lemon hwy is a nice drive.

Booo! i wish i was there tonight! I was going to be heading out there around wed/thurs/fri. i work a lot so those are the days i am going to ditch the second job (shhhhh!)

Haha darn Mt. lemmon is pretty good. Went up there last night. The only down side right now is the wind. And i almost hit a branch on the road last night up there.

i can see how the wind would be bad times. weather.com is predicting partial cloudiness and rain on saturday.... so my days i picked out might be ok. unless the rain decides to come early!

mt lemon is definetly the hot spot down there. cruise it all the way to the top and grab a bite to eat up there. its an awesome drive, and some very beautiful scenery.

i can use the scenery too! since it will be in the middle of the week i bet there will be no one there too!! I cant wait!

for sure!! here is a pic i shot up there, i know its of our mazda, but thats because i have never had the stang up there. this pic was shot at the top of mount lemon.

Just got back from a cruise to Mt Lemmon yesterday morning with a bunch of guys. We usually go up at least twice a month. Its 28 miles to the top. Speed limit is 35 in "most spots." I would say its one of the best roads in AZ if it was empty. Saw some small rocks on the road from all the cliffs so watch out

While youre on that side of town you might check out Agua Caliente Lake.

If you go South on Kolb Rd just North of I-10 youll see thousands of airplanes and helicopters. Titan Missle Museum is pretty cool. If you like chili cheese hot dogs you have to hit Pats Chili Dogs on Grande/Speedway but only during daylight:yes:
