Roosevelt Tour

During our Thanksgiving break I had a chance to take Dan on a tour of Roosevelt. Both of my parents are from Roosevelt. I spent my first year or so of life living in Roosevelt in the bunk house at the Tidwell Ranch. The Tidwells have since moved to Globe but the Carters still live in Roosevelt. Josh and I took Dan to see the Tonto Cliff Dwellings (they actually let you hike up into the cliff dwelling), the Roosevelt Lake Visitor Center and we drove across the Roosevelt Lake Bridge (the largest two way arch bridge in North America). I remember going as a little girl to see the bridge when it first opened because my Grandpa Tidwell accidentally shut the car door on my finger and we couldn't get the door to open up. I think that lead to my first experience swallowing a pain pill. Even though it was very painful, I am now grateful it happened because I probably wouldn't have remembered the outing otherwise.
