We have been here at Catalina State Park, near Tuscon, AZ.  Beautiful place...its hasn't been quite as warm here as the last few places.  Even a couple rainy days...we measured about 3/4 inch of precip.  We are at the base of the Santa Catalina Mountians...

A wide view of the campground...

Catalina State Park sits at the base of the majestic Santa Catalina Mountains. The Geology of the area can be studied HERE.   The park is a haven for desert plants and wildlife and nearly 5,000 saguaros.

The 5,500 acres of foothills, canyons and streams invites camping, picnicking and bird watching — more than 150 species of birds call the park home. Information on the Science of the area, including the fearsome Camel Spider, wildlife, plant life and cultural history can be found HERE. The park provides miles of equestrian, birding, hiking, and biking trails which wind through the park and into the Coronado National Forest at elevations near 3,000 feet. 

We are here at this park, closely following the crazy virus situation, until February 20th....

Until Next Time!!
