Casa Romero is one of those little tucked-away restaurants with food that tastes much better than the restaurant looks. The restaurant is a bit hidden in a shopping center that's not exactly on a major road, but kinda. Upon entering, seating is quick, and with all Mexican restaurants, complimentary chips and salsa are promptly delivered.

I remember the first time I went to Roosevelt Lake. It was a three-day camping trip with my dad when I was about eight years old. A friend of his, along with his son, accompanied us. I ran around trying to catch tadpoles as fishing bait, and I remember seeing a small frog, about two inches long, for the first time.

As a Delta Air Lines jet was flying over Arizona on a clear day, the co-pilot was providing his passengers with a running commentary about landmarks over the PA system. "Coming up on the right, you can see the Meteor Crater, which is a major tourist attraction in northern Arizona. It was formed when a lump of nickel and iron, roughly 150 feet in diameter and weighing 300,000 tons, struck the earth at about 40,000 miles an hour, scattering white-hot debris for miles in every direction. The hole measures nearly a mile across and is 570 feet deep."

From the cabin, a passenger was heard to exclaim, "Wow! It just missed the highway!"
