After a nice 1/2" rain last night, the day started out cool and sunny. I did some polishing on the RV and Lou worked on her Drunkard's Path quilt project sewing small pieces into larger pieces. This afternoon, we took a trip up to Tortilla Flats near Canyon Lake NW of AJ. The scenery in AZ is stunning! Going by Superstition Mountain on the way gives a different perspective of its size and appeal to the area. Lots of hills of varied colors and shapes abound in the area. Here we were, driving along in the desert mountain beauty enjoying the vastness of the country with so few people around and then... a large marina on Canyon Lake with hundreds of boats in their slips! It really seemed out of place. Especially since the road up there is very windy and narrow with a 25 MPH speed limit most of the way. I can't imagine what it looks like in the summer when everyone is heading for the lake:(
I took lots of pics on the way so here's a few of them. Hard to choose the best ones so I'll just guess. If its blue, its the lake. If a boulder or hillside has a slight green tint, it fresh lichens growing on the rocks. BTW, I'm sitting outside in the cool air so the modem will work.
And we got an ice cream cone at the Goldberg Mining Ghost Town on the way back. Cherry Chocolate Chunk was pretty good:)
