Feb. 16, 2012 - Today we drove a 120-mile scenic loop along Hwy 60 to Globe (AZ) and past Roosevelt Lake on Hwy 88. Twenty miles of Hwy 88, south of the dam forming the lake, is a narrow and winding dirt road with steep canyon drop-offs to the Salt River below. It was a beautiful drive through amazing high-elevation desert. We ate a late lunch in Tortilla Flat (population 6) in an Old West eating establishment where the walls and ceiling are lined with dollar bills; some layers are 2+ deep! I fell asleep when we got back to the RV. When I woke up, Tom had chocolate-covered almonds on our dining table -- a great dinner for me with a glass of red wine!
