Apache Junction, Arizona, where the Apache Trail and US Hwy 60 meet is in the shadow of Superstition Mountain, a peak on the western end of the Superstition Mountains. Steve and I ventured there today and found a ghost town!

Goldfield is an old mining town that is now a tourist attraction. Corny, I know, but it was fun to walk up the street and explore. It was Steve's favorite price, free, but we paid well with the junk that we bought in the little shops - fudge, postcards, and decorative pins.
 |
| Steve maintains that this is another cleverly disguised cell tower. |
Along the way, we saw more of my favorite Arizona flowers.
 |
| Flowering oleander grows in many colors everywhere. |
 |
| We finally identified this as Red Bird of Paradise - Caesalpinia pulcherrima. |
 |
| This is everywhere, too. It turned out to be San Diego Red Bougainvillea. |
Earlier in the day, we drove to Scottsdale and liberated my silver cuff bracelet. It had been left for repair. The poor thing had been stretched so much, getting it on my wrist, that some of the inlay work popped off. It's good as new now, but Meghan will need to wear it because my wrist is not likely to get smaller.
Who knows what tomorrow will bring? Another adventure to come.
