Last Day at Catalina

The decision has been made - we are leaving Catalina in the morning
.
Took the dogs on a 1.5 mile canyon hike today and Isabelle seemed to do well - no limping!
Not much water flowing here now, but we found some higher up the canyon.  Girls got to go swimming.
However, Issy was a little "tender footed" once we got back to camp.  May have been too much for her.

Once back to the RV we droped the dogs off and drove to a trail head down the highway where dogs are not allowed and did a one+ hour hike.  Nothing exciting, but something new.  Got a little bit of a workout.

Sorry, but the weather is great!

Still Here In Catalina

It's not unusual!
We are at Catalina and don't want to leave.
Probably could live right here in the campground indefinately.
Last night (Tuesday) was the last of our two day extension and we are talking about staying yet another two more nights and visiting Joshua Tree NP another time.
We have to leave Friday morning as we have a reservation at Borrego-Springs starting that night and it's only a one day drive from here.
Assuming we stay here two more days we will do another 4-5 hour hike - more pictures!  For now, we haven't moved so there is nothing more to show you without boreing you other than our dinner last night.

Ellen bought a special bottle of wine (Silver Oak "Napa") waiting for a special occasion and last night, what was to be our last night here, was the night to drink it - even though we probably will now stay longer.  Great wine along with fantastic food, all outside as the sun set was setting - something we will always remember.
