What a Gem of a State Park, but I guess we find that often, the State Parks are in beautiful places, and are well put together.
We were ready for a shower, and these were just great! Spacious, clean, and hot. No waiting :)
I managed a bike ride to explore and set out on the "fifty year" trail- great fun!!
Big rocks, check
Small rocks, check
Sand traps, check
Big rocks on steep climbs, check
Plenty of cactus to catch your fall, check, check!
Great sunset, check!
This is going to be a good camp.
Sunset bike ride
Catalina Sunset
Catalina Mountains
Susan want on a birding walk, we found some hikes, learned of the desert big horn in the area, saw a reptile display, even went to an evening concert (Karaoke covers), I dialed in our plan for the California coast, and made a dozen reservations for that part of the trip home. I guess it felt good to get some of the housekeeping things done.
Watching others is very entertaining, and there are different types of campers in different places. Catalina SP had the RV crowd. There were various trailers from micro teardrop trailers to monstrous fifth-wheel homes with multiple pop-outs the size of our van. Few van campers. Susan noted that the "sprinter crowd" seems to be in the national parks/ monuments more than the RVs. RV-ers seem to have a community, and like to camp together. I would not be surprised if they did pot-lucks together. And they have a lot of outside lights!, in this case Christmas lights.
