Dolly Steamboat at Canyon Lake & Tortilla Flat

Today we went to Canyon Lake & went on the Dolly Steamboat Cruise with Gary, Margie & George (some friends from Michigan that are spending this month in Casa Grande).  After the cruise we went to Tortilla Flat (Population 6) to the Tortilla Flat Restaurant & Saloon for dinner.  The weather was absolutely perfect & it was a great day with great friends!

Own a piece of the rock - Prudential :-)

The Dolly Steamboat

The tallest rock has an eagle's nest at the top.

Duck!

Amethyst & petrified palm tree found at Canyon Lake

Beethoven at the piano with a saguaro
"candelabra".  (Use your imagination).

Mastadon half-way up with trunk, legs &
T-Rex at the bottom.
 (Again...you have to use your imagination)

T-Rex footprint :-)

There is such a variety of rock formations...just beautiful!

In the center background is the "Weaver's Needle".

Another interesting formation.

M-R Ducks!

George...note all the dollars on the wall (as well as
plenty of foreign currency).  It is estimated that there
are between $100,000 - $150,000, with some areas
four layers thick.

Truth!

A HUGE Burmese Python skin.

Some people will do whatever you tell them to do.  :-)

Nice rack!
