Apache trail & Tortilla Flat

We were camping at the base of the Apache Trail, route 88 in Arizona.  We took Buddy for a day trip to Tortilla Flats.  Buddy took a much needed swim in Canyon Lake.  This road is filled with turns and switchbacks which was very suitable to all the motorcycles traveling along this route.  We only averaged about 20 - 25 MPH on this road with much traffic. 
After stopping a Canyon Lake, our next stop was Tortilla Flat.  There was a restaurant and bar here along with a few shops selling ice cream, candy, and assorted gifts.  There was a live two piece band playing outdoors and they seemed to be entertaining the crowd.  We toured a small school house that served 12 students back in it's day.  The bar had horse saddles as seats at the bar and the whole inside of the building was covered in $1 bills, like wall paper. 
I decided to return toward base camp as fuel was low and we got a late start.  We toured Goldfield Ghost Town on the way back.  When we arrived, there was a recreational gunfight going on and the gun blasts were too much for Buddy.  I kept my distance while Aggie toured the shops.  There was a bar with live music playing and several shops.  Ice cream seemed to be a hit as many people were walking around with a cone. 
There are many other attractions along this route including Superstition Mountain Museum, Lost Dutchman State Park, and Dutchman's Hideout at the Mining Camp Restaurant which was quite busy with cars parking along the street. 
This is an interesting ride along the desert landscape and you need more than one day to enjoy it all.
