| Some
time in the summer of this year, Retta, Celisse and I packed up the ol'
wagon and headed to the Tonto Natural Bridge. It is just 10 miles
north of Payson. It was a nice hike, and it was also great to get
out of the city for a day.

Our adventure begins with me and Retta at the top of the Tonto Natural Bridge. |
|
This
is a crappy scan of a rather nice picture. Here you can see the bridge
and the water coming out of the rock. Below that is bacically a huge
hole in the side, gling all the way through.
|
 |
 |
Us again, headed under the bridge. |
|
Retta
and her sister Celisse, not knowing what danger lies ahead.
|
 |
 |
It was nice at the bottom, with a little creek running through. |
|
As
I said, you could see clear through to the other side.
|
 |
 |
Retta and Celisse brave the danger, knowing that the cave could collapse at any minute. |
|
Retta:
You recognize any of this?
Celisse: Duh... |
 |
 |
Wait a minute . . . this is a man-made bridge! |
|
We
made it! By the way, those port-a-johns were some of the nastiest
things I've ever seen.
