Apache Junction, Arizona


Georgia & Al Sharpe
113 degrees in the shade; Yikes it is hot! Went out to take pictures of the Superstition Mountains, visited several museums and had lunch in a ghost town. Now we are back in the air conditioning! Shipping excess weight back home in anticipation of the the high temps tomorrow on the way home.


Getting ready to leave tomorrow:  KFFZ~KEED~KGWF~L45~KPTV~O63, with a few GPS waypoints inbetween to stay out of restricted areas and MOA's.

Lunch at Mammoth Saloon, Apache Junction Arizona.


Me (Gene) and Katie, and the Superstition Mountains.




Walked around the trails just inside the Park, then moved on to our Lunch Destination!



Really Great Food!  And we beat the crowd that showed up just after we ordered!

Superstition Mountains
Grind Stones outside the Museum

The Superstition Mountain Museum had several interesting exhibits of local artifacts, and this panorama of Military Uniforms that were used in the area.

Back to the house for the Cool Interior!  Just outside the front door of Al & Georgia's house this plant is thriving, even though the temperature was 113 degrees!






The Weather moved through the day before we left, Fortunately!
