Tortilla Flats & Roosevelt dam

We haven't Blogged the past few days, as we have been resting and chilling out in the sun at Sun City. It has been wonderful, and very restful. Nancy is recharged now, and ready to continue our adventure.

On Tuesday, we took a day trip to Apache Junction, Totilla Flats, and Roosevelt Dam. This picture is of a portion of the 3 buildings in Tortilla Flats. The town has 5 residents, and in the middle of nowhere. It was very interesting, and we were there long enough to get a drink from the Bar, take some pictures and move on.

This is a picture of the inside of the restaurant/bar. Note the saddles for the bar stools. Of course, we had to try out the saddles.

We continued to Roosevelt Dam, over a rough dirt road, approx. 22 miles long. Of course we spent the previous day washing the car, then had to get it dirty all over again. This is one of the many views of the mountains covered with Saguaro Cactus.

This is the backside of Roosevelt Dam. It is the largest stone dam in the world. The stones were chiselled out of the canyon walls, and completed in the early 1900's.
Now we have to wash the car all over again.
