Sorry, I was hoping to fly there today, and it would have been great to connect with you, but when I didn't see any responses to my post by mid-morning, I gave up and made other plans.
E-mail me at j_r_wolfe@msn.com, and I can send you some help with with the directions. Also, this information is available on the "Sites" section of the SAHGA web site, which requires a member's account name and password.

Hi Stanley,
I just got the message you left on my telephone answering machine. I'm sorry we haven't been able to talk on the phone. I am usually home in the early part of the evening and again before noon.
Also, it would be a good idea to meet the other HG and PG pilots at the upcoming SAHGA meeting on Tuesday, March 8, at the PIzza Hut on Campbell just North of Glenn Avenue, at 7PM. That way we can give you directions, etc.
As far as flying Mt. Lemmon is concerned, I think special permission is needed (I think a key is needed too, but I'm not sure.) I any case, it would be a good idea to contact the HG flight director, Eric Smith (no relation to me). PG pilots don't launch anywhere near the Mt. Lemmon HG site.
Box and "A" Mountain are the only local Winter sites where both PG and HG pilots fly.
I hope we can eventually fly together!
Lew
