I think we
are a little early for the cactus to be blooming but we decided to stop and
walk for a while to see if we could find any.
There is a great variety of cacti in this area.
Not sure if
the purple ends on this one are blooms or blooms to be.
I need to
brush up on cactus names since we spend more time here than anywhere else.
Superstition
Mountains in the background.
We found a
lot of wildflowers on the side of the road.
On the way
to Tortilla Flat we stopped at the Lost Dutchman State Park for a look
around. For $7.00 we found out that they
have a lot of campers there and on this particular day there were a lot of
people there for a wedding in addition to the huge amount of weekend hikers –
we just drove through and went on our way.
From the
Canyon Lake area to Tortilla Flat there are a lot of hairpin turns, but the
scenery is great.
Superstition
Saloon was our supper stop before heading back home. Actually we didn’t have much of a
choice. Tortilla Flat, population 6, is
made up of this saloon and a small store.
The walls
and most everything else inside the saloon is covered in $1.00 bills, four and
five bills deep. The guy behind us in
line at the hostess stand asked how much money was on the walls and the hostess
said they estimate between $350,000 and $400,000.
The
entertainment with dinner was watching the short-legged, out of shape old
people trying to get up on these saddles that serve as stools at the bar. They took off the stirrups so that makes it
even harder.
