We checked out the highlight of Grove, Oklahoma -- Har-Ber Village, created by Harvey and Bernice Jones of Jones Trucking to show what life has been like over the generations. There are buildings and buildings and buildings full of everything from the past: clothes, dishes, farming equipment, pots and pans, chairs and other furniture, quilts, kitchen gadgets, blah blah blah. It's a beautiful spot on the lake with some interesting stuff from the past 100 of so years -- some of it we even remember from Grandma's.

We took a drive along the Apache Trail, just east of Phoenix. The surrounding mountains are called "Little Grand Canyon." Only it's like driving at the bottom of Grand Canyon and then climbing halfway up.
It runs past Superstition Mountain, as well as the old town of Goldfield.
There are many one lane bridges along this road. Luckily, there was not too much traffic!
Canyon Lake is one of the three lakes formed by dams, thanks to the local power company. The Salt River (same one for tubing) provides the water.
A good portion of the drive is on an unpaved road, and portions of it only allow one vehicle to pass, with mountains rising on one side and canyons dropping on the other. Bill loved driving this, but Denise's knuckles were white and foot was tired of "braking" on the passenger side!
