Today's Adventure

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.
