Rest Day in Catalina State Park


Sunday March 20th


 Last night around 10 PM, we were abruptly woken up by the local Coyotes.  Nice to have real wildlife living around you. Went to REI this morning, bought more tubes and a T-shirt to replace the one that disappeared during laundry services. Starbucks and Apple also on our errand list. Lunch was pizza at the campsite and I believe that we devoured a dozen pies. As promised, the rain started mid afternoon and turned the day dark and dank. But we would rather have rain on a rest day than on a riding day, so we accepted the forecast,  promising rain to end around sunset today.  Burgers and hot dogs for dinner, ice cream sundaes for desert. And off to bed before 8 PM.
