Don, Leah and I took a long drive past Tortilla Flat to Roosevelt Dam on road 88 up to Lake Roosevelt. The road is paved a ways past Tortilla Flat, but then turns to a dirt/sand road with many twists and turns.
First stop was at Fish Creek Vista. Hard to believe they cut a road throughout here in the early 1900s to build a dam for the water and electricity.
A quick stop on the road to check out a tarantula that Don spied.
Lunch stop at Apache Lake Resort.
Roosevelt Dam built in 1906 out of natural stone blocks cut on site, then raised 77 feet in the 80s.
Roosevelt bridge spans the huge Roosevelt Lake that was created by the Dam project.
