Sunday tour

The weather was a bit cooler today, in the high 60's low 70's. We went for a bit of a tour today, down to Globe, it's about an hour east of AJ. The highway goes into the canyons and into a mining area where there are huge copper/gold mines operating. A real remote area and lots of people around here take their ATVs up in that country. The tailings piles from the mines are huge, as is some of the equipment. Some of those tailings piles must be 1,000 ft high and a mile long. This evening was ice cream social, so we went to it and visited with some nice people, including a couple from BC we met when we were here last winter. A bunch of the ladies make cakes & squares and they top it up with your choice of about 8 different ice cream flavours. I had a nice lemon cake and Marg a cheesecake. After; we went for a walk around the park to walk it off. Probably should have gone twice. LOL
