Monday was an interesting day! We drove the Apache Trail. Sounds easy enough... actually was quite an adventure. We left Scottsdale at 9 am and arrived at the beginning of the trail at 10 am. The trail is 48 miles long and consists of 8 miles or so of paved road, 22 miles of unpaved road and then a bit of highway to get back. The entire time we were high in the mountains, winding up and down the sides of each mountain. There were no guardrails and 8 miles of the dirt road was only one lane. Mother and Iver were very surprised by the adventure! We did see a spot in the road where a car had gone over the side and as we made our way down the mountain we could see the car half way down the mountain. In fact, he was towing a boat and the boat is half way down the mountain also. We saw the Roosevelt Dam at the end of our mountain tour! It took 7 hours to drive the 48 miles! We left the house at 9 and returned home at 7 pm! (We did stop at the store briefly on the way home). What a day!

Today Mother and I swam for an hour and half. Great exercise! Now we are relaxing until after lunch. Then off to explore a few shops and the Scottsdale area.

I am adding photos now. Had to resize them because my image size is so high each one is taking forever to upload. Hopefully they will come out okay. Bear with me... there is a learning process going on here!
