Tonto Natural Bridge

Sunday afternoon, we decided to get out of town for a while. I can think of a million things we 'should have' been doing, but we really needed a day trip. So we headed north of town for our adventure, past the town of Payson. David and I had both been up in that area before for various camps and such. We had seen a sign for Tonto Natural Bridge, and we decided to go check it out. It is quite the cool little park. There are hiking trails and great lookout points to see the rock bridge. We did not do any of the trails (I'm afraid my unstable joints just would not appreciate it), but we did look around. We pulled out the kite and we had a blast flying the kite. The weather was PERFECT, it was around 75 degrees, with a slight breeze. With the sun starting to go down, there was a lot of shade. We even saw a pack of javalina's (wild pigs). We look forward to going back and doing some of the hiking. I completely forgot to bring my camera... I will do it next time until then, here is the website for the park...
