Today it was off to Tortilla Flats, the institution of Apache Junction. We had an early lunch and beat the crowds who also drove the narrow, curvy road to eat a burger & fries.

Tortilla Flats is known for the dollar bills stapled to the walls. Our wait staff person shared there is more than $100,000 in dollar bills lining the walls, posts, booths, and ceiling of the restaurant and ice cream store.

Speaking of ice cream...we all had a scoop of prickly pear ice cream. Yes, it really is pink, not green.

Well, it catches every one's attention! (There are baby rattles lying in the aquarium.)

A replica of the school house built at Tortilla Flats for 14 students. It is a museum.

It was a cloudy day with rain this morning. Every time I am out in the desert or mountains the last couple of weeks I am awed by all the green. Even the rocks/mountains on this drive are covered in moss, hiding the many natural shades, turning everything GREEN.
