Saturday's Apache Trail!

This morning, I decided to get up, get out, and take my new car for a spin, see how she handles on the road. I grabbed my cameras, and got myself dressed, grabbed the GPS and headed out the door. I couldn't decide where to go, so I plugged "local attractions" into the GPS, and found a listing for Lost Dutchman State Park, and its close by! The car handled the freeway just great, barely felt the 70mph... hehehehe. When I arrived, I parked, and thought "what a great place to take pictures." However, I wasn't dressed for the desert/hiking mode, wore the wrong kind of shoes. *sigh* So much for actually hiking. And I didn't even have water along. I need to restock my car! {grins} But I managed to get out and wander around, get closer to the mountains for some great pix. After a bit of walking, I got back onto the road at took Apache Trail Historic Road. This historic road covers some of the most rugged terrain in Arizona. Located in Tonto National Forest, it is 41.5 miles long. (Allow about five hours to drive this byway.... [its full of twists and turns, much of it at 25mph] ) But it sure is pretty up here, when you stop so you can take your eyes off the road! :)

Bounteous HUGS to everyone!
