May 14, 2914 - Day 6 in Payson, AZ

Left Prescott in the morning and headed to Payson.   It is a long 2 hour drive because of the twisting, mountainous roads.   The roads are excellent, but they are single lanes with short double lanes to allow passing.   The entire area consists of tall pine trees within a national forest.  We are in Mogollon Rim.  Very beautiful and cool temperatures.

Upon arriving in Payson we stopped at a Chili's for an early lunch.   Had a hard time finding our hotel because apparently they were bought out after we had made our reservations and the hotel named changed.   Our waitress told us where to go and all was fine once we arrived.

After lunch we headed to the area casino.  Won $183 on a penny slot and Bridget told me to take the money and run!  We did!  

After a little rest in the late afternoon, we went to a local ice cream shop for our first desert during the entire trip.  

Heading to Show Low tomorrow.
