patrick: went up in some mountains today
You’ll never guess what I did today!
(if you already read the title, you’re not allowed to guess!)
Ok, yeah so I went up in some mountains today. I took Amy and our friend Jenna along.
We drove the Apache Trail, which is this cool historic trail up through the mountains in Arizona.
I was going to write a lot more about the history, but I realized that I don’t know much of it. I’ll just give bullet points instead, since I’m really not in a paragraphy sort of mood right now…
- Along the trail is a town called Tortilla Flat. Population 6. It has a restaurant and an ice-cream shop. That’s all. We had lunch there.
- At the top of the trail is the Roosevelt Dam, the world’s largest masonry dam. Many dam jokes ensued. (we had a dam good time. The dam road was too long. etc.)
- I climbed on some rocks to take pictures. I took about 70 exposures today. I’ll post the better ones here after I get them developed this week.
That’s all I got for now. I’m going to watch the Office or something now.
