Catching Up


This vacation business is hard work and I haven't had much of an opportunity to post pictures or comments. We're keeping busy, of course. We just returned from the week-end in Apache Junction, about 75 miles southeast of Phoenix. We stayed with Carl & DiAnn (at left), who are our good friends from Wenatchee, and renting a place down there.

Sunday we took a driving tour of the area, with our first stop being the old ghost town of Goldfield, Arizona. We took a leisurely tour through the rugged countryside of the Superstition Mountain wilderness area, stopping for picture opportunities and for an ice cream cone at Tortilla Flat. Tortilla Flat is very small, claiming 6 full time residents, 2 of which may be rattle snakes! It is an old time stage coach stop and tied to the legend of the elusive goldmine of the Lost Dutchman.
