Adventure 677: Catalina State Park/Post A

Two days late is better than not starting at all, I suppose. This is the first free moment I've had since we arrived, so let's recap. Ed and Deb Drouin picked us up last Sunday morning at 4:30 A.M. to shuttle us to the airport. Checkin went smoothly. The flight left on time; arrived early. A bit of a walk to the Uber/Lyft station. Three minutes later, Jack, our Uber driver pressed hard on his accelerator. Thankfully, we arrived safely at Sunrise Boat and RV. I mean Jack must have had a goal to get a few more fares in because he literally went eighty-five on the freeway portion of our ride. No worries. We're still alive. Fric started right up. The trailer batteries were dead, but no worries, we hooked the truck up and sent some current into the trailer. We left Las Vegas by 10 A.M. Six hours and 407 miles later we pulled up to our friends, David and Ginny Kral's, home in Tucson. They had a scrumptious Chicken Pot Pie dinner waiting for us. It was to die for. We stayed the night in the trailer, which was parked outside their home. They fed us again in the morning before they went to work out. Judy and I then took Fric and Frac to the car wash for a bath. The desert dust after three months was pretty thick. Then we stopped off at Trader Joe's to resupply. All shiny, we checked into our space at Catalina State Park. We went back to Kral's for dinner last night and also watched the championship football game. This morning, after a nice night's rest we went for a walk, played a game of crib, did the form, and treated ourselves to an In and Out burger for lunch. Right now, I'm finally at ease to write the first blog, I have to tell you that 66 degrees is a sight more pleasant than 18 and snowing. So life is good, especially today.

A pleasant stroll on the Bridle Trail this morning.

Typical morning. Breakfast, coffee, and crib. Hard to get any better.
