Apache Trail

The Miller's came down to Arizona for spring break and we spent the day with them on Apache Trail.  It was a beautiful drive with a lot of history.

These are pictures of the drive (thanks Chef Miller for all the pit stops for pictures) through Tonto National Forest.









 
 







We arrived at Trotilla Flats and had lunch at the Superstition Saloon and Restaurant.  The town is tiny but there are always things to photograph.

This is Goldfield mining camp.  We had a great time here and also went on a jeep ride that left from here.

And finally our dinner was at the Mining Camp Restaurant.  It was family style and the entertainment was great!

Bartlet Lake Hike




Bartlet Lake was so unique. You drive through Tonto National Forest and you find this beautiful huge lake. 
 
We seen some beautiful flowers while we were on and off the path.
 



 




 

 
 


We also ate at a great outdoor restaurant called Big Earls Greasy Eats.  We have gone back again because the food was so good.



I do have a couple more updates and I will email you as soon as they are ready to view.
Stay warm!!

Where Have We Been?

Besides working we have done a few trips.

We took a day and went to Old Town Scottsdale.  It was a great town to walk around.






 





We have two grandsons in California and it was time to spend some time with them.
 
 

         Meet Neil and Ian







 


I found my happy place when I was with these two little guys!

So the weather here has not been as good as the brochure said.  When it's cold it is COLD and when it is warm it's POOL TIME!!
