Adventure 680: Return to the Kral's/Post A

Last year due to the covid scare we didn't travel. As a result we lost our spot on the reservation circuit at Catalina State Park. That resulted in a disjointed stay this year. We just spent four fabulous days in Site #24, Campground B. However, there was no room in the inn over the weekend. Fortunately, we have our friends the Kral's to thank for a spot at the rear of their culdesac. Not only that, but Ginny (with sous chef Judy) fixed this incredibly delicious vegetable meatloaf, so as you can see we're suffering along on thin gruel. We'll stay the weekend. Monday we head to a new adventure at Lost Dutchman State Park. We've not stayed there before, and this year we'll spend ten nights. There will be the assorted desert hikes, but the biking remains to be seen. After that we return to Catalina State Park for a stay through mid February. In the meantime, we're enjoying the good life, especially today, with our buddies the, Kral's.

We took an afternoon walk of about three miles. Along the way we met "Mailbox" man.

Ginny and Judy pointing to a branch that Ginny's son Geoff cut off so the Saguaro cactus could grow. Twenty years ago, this cactus was only as high as They're pointing.

The Kral's have a Zen like backyard filled with local flora and fauna. 

Very serene.

Because of unusually heavy rains, the Saguaros are especially verdant.

But even the skeletal remains of cacti are splendid.

Vegetable meatloaf, baker. Quite yummy!
