glacier_kittyYesterday when I woke up it was SNOWING! Ahhhh..I came to escape the snow, not see more! Haha. It didn't last long though. We looked in a couple thrift shops (I was really looking for a bookstore, but there doesn't seem to be one just for books), saw Zane Grey's house, found a cache and stocked up on groceries. My room has a nice view, but it overlooks the airport, and at night the beacon shines through the curtains and onto the wall..so annoying! Haha
Today we went to the Tonto Natural Bridge. It's one of the largest natural travertine bridges in the world (travertine is a type of limestone). Some of the trails were closed cause they had a big snowstorm on Jan. 1st and excessive melting is going on. The bridge was pretty cool though..you could stand on top of it and then walk down to it. The trails were pretty steep, which made my lungs feel like they were on fire from the altitude when going uphill haha. After that we had lunch at the nearby town of Pine and found some caches, then drove back to Payson..we're using the wifi at Safeway haha. I can plug mom's phone into my computer and use it as a hotspot, but it's annoyingly slow. I'm glad there is a close easy place we can go online for awhile though :P

Tonto Natural Bridge sounds and looks like it's really pretty.
Just an FYI, if you ever happen to hear/see/run into anyone by the name of Mary and John Cailey, those are Matt's mom and stepdad haha.
