Gold Canyon (AZ)

Feb. 9, 2012 - Temperatures were warmer than normal today.  We decided to take it easy.  So, we drove the winding Apache Trail (Highway 88) along Canyon Lake and past Tortilla Flat, a weathered cluster of Western-style buildings with a cafe and country store, population 6.  It was a beautiful drive and we found a few places to launch our kayaks in Canyon Lake when we’re ready to do some paddling.  We ate a late lunch at Los Gringos in Apache Junction - great Mexican food down here.  We chose to eat inside instead of on the patio because we were too hot to sit outside.  I’ve been getting hot and tired and cranky in the heat of this greater Phoenix area.  I napped when we got back to the RV.  This heat really zaps my energy.  I need to get acclimated to sunshine and warm temps!
