Hiking & Geocaching - Catalina State Park

Today, we decided to explore the park by doing a little geocaching. Behind our campsite is a section of the Bridle Path. The path is designed for horses and is fairly deep with sand. It made walking difficult for about a mile. Along the way we found four caches. At the end of the Bridle Path, we picked up the Nature Trail, which was much easier walking (no sand). We found two more caches along the trail, and picked up a Beanie Travel Bug. We plan to carry the Travel Bug with us and deposit it in an appropriate cache in Texas.

The park as numerous examples of Saguaro Cactus (cacti).

Caught the back-end of a mule deer at the far end of my telephoto.

We put the flag out for Veteran's Day

Later in the afternoon, I cooked some steaks on the barbie, and we sat around watching the ants carry-off the bird seed we had put out.

Doing what fulltimers do...relaxing.

There goes the birdseed!
