Week 4 - Gila Bend to the Tonto







We spent last week in Gila Bend, home of the best Mexican food we've found in AZ. Heather graciously volunteered to help us out for the weekend. Little did we (or Heather) know that she brings the rain....we had a few breaks in the weather, but it didn't really stop for Heather's entire visit. And yes, she was still smiling! Thank you for all the help Heather!


After the floods, we took off to the Tonto to help out Karen and Daniel who had to abandon ship, and leave their vehicle on a clay road that became extremly dangerous during the storm. Their story is definitely worth hearing over a beer. I think it is enough to say that the Forest Service rescue team who arrived at 11 pm to save them were named Thor and Thorina. Seriously. Thorina. Still makes me smile.
