Road Trip Wonder

On the suggestion of a friend we took a drive through a very scenic area east of Apache Junction; it's a rugged remote area of dramatic roads and past & present copper mines. Our Calgary friends, Bob & Ann, came along for the ride.

On a sunny cool day, it was a fun time being amazed around every corner, over every hill and into every valley. There were many Wow! moments.

Lunch time found us in the historic copper mining town of Globe. Here we found Spring, a good Mexican restaurant, La Casita (around since 1947), and the unexpected pleasure of the Copper Country Quilt Guild's 40th annual show at the Cobre Valley Center for the Arts (the former courthouse built in 1910 and beautifully restored in the 80s).
