Catalina State Park - Tucson, Arizona

Today we arrived at Catalina State Park, just north of Tucson, Arizona. The park host said it wasn't too busy, just drive around and pick a site. We opted for one of the back-ins in Campground B. There is plenty of room between the sites and it backs up to a natural area.


We were barely set up, when the local welcoming committee (road runners) came by to check out our digs.


We also spotted this bird while walking around the park. According to our friends, John & Terri, it is a male Pyrrhuloxia (pie-ru-lox-eah), AKA a gray cardinal.

There are several geocaches in the park, so we can keep busy for the next few days.
