Monday, Dec. 15, 2014 – Travel Day to Catalina State Park

Got up reasonably early and finished packing up, loaded up the horses and after saying our good-byes to our barnyard neighbors, got on the road by about 9:30. A very straightforward drive down I-17 to I-10, found a Walmart directly across from the entrance to Catalina State Park, one short side trip to get gas in the van, then into the Park we went. They only charged us for one vehicle (thank goodness), so at $15 a night, we felt it was a decent bargain. The horse camp has 8 open corrals and 4 partially covered corrals, so we put the horses in two of the covered corrals, since there's a lot of rain in the forecast. We got the RV settled in along the fence, filled the water tank from a nearby spigot (there are several around the grounds), got the satellite dish up and running, and were settling down for the evening just after nightfall. A very quiet spot, even though it's just off the main road through town, we couldn't hear much in the way of traffic noise. Paid for a week, not sure if we'll stay longer than that or not, depends on what we learn about the other campground we want to look at further south.
