Canyon Lake Loop - May 4, 2013
Last month we took the trip to Tortilla Flat (and stopped off at Canyon Lake). It was our intention to drive a full loop past several other lakes and come out around Globe (Hwy 60). When we got to Tortilla Flat we learned that the road becomes a dirt road a few miles away. So we opted out of that loop and went back home.
This time, we decided to take our car and to turn it into a fishing trip. We rented a fishing boat at Canyon Lake and spent about 4 hours on the lake. Although we didn't catch any fish, it was very relaxing trying. The surrounding countryside of the lake was spectactular. We forgot to bring a camera, so all these pictures were taken with our Smart Phones.

Back in the marina, there was a momma duck with her little ducklings. They were so cute.

Lunch at Tortilla Flat. This is the inside of their restaurant. The wall is papered with $1.00 bills.
They estimate about $100,000 taped and stapled to the wall and ceiling.
