| no partners | | Wanted to do something today my wife could handle, and this fit the bill. We took our time driving in, including stops to see the Roosevelt Dam and Roosevelt Dam Bridge. Then we took our time walking up the path. It is fairly steep, but being short is doable even for people not used to hiking. I actually got some really cute pictures of my wife in her jelly nougat ( http://img2.etsystatic.com/012/0/704962 ... 6_e6th.jpg ) colored hat, but she would kill me if I posted the pictures. I liked this better than Casa Grande, because I could at least inspect some of the rooms, which you could not do at Casa Grande. Also, the views are spectacular. The upper ruins are closed May-October, but I asked anyway, and the answer was no. Why? To avoid snake- and heat-caused casualties, as the trail is longer and higher. (Little did they suspect my superhero alter-ego as Hazman! ) Afterwards, which stopped for lunch at Big Daddy's on the east end of Punkin Center. Shockingly good pizza. (To give you some idea of how much stuff they had on it, I could only eat two slices compared to my normal five 16" slices.) Also, good AC, always a plus. |
