Cross Country Trip – Day 9

28 March 2018

It was a 7 1/2 hour drive from Carlsbad to Tucson and Catalina State Park where I have reservations for the next two nights.  The two campgrounds are totally full.

I was a little nervous at first with the gps which routed me to El Paso and from the look of it, to Ciudad Juárez, Mexico.  I didn’t bring my passport so I was relieved when it routed me north of El Paso and then to I-10 west.

As I passed Guadeloupe Mountains National Park, I got a very good view of El Capitan and decided it was worth a stop and a photo.

Life on I-10 was uneventful and I checked into Catalina State Park around 4 pm.  I immediately set up my one person tent and put my 40 F sleeping bag in the tent.  After the sun went down, I decided that was a mistake and took out the heavier bag for the night.  It’s gonna get real cool tonight.

The park is very attractive and it has several trails that would be interesting to hike were it not for my itinerary for Saguaro.  Saguaro National Park is divided into two sections: west and east of Tucson.  In most cases, unless you intend to do overnight hikes, you basically drive through the park and take short walks from overlooks and pullouts.

Since I’m still a little sore from the last two days, that suits me fine.

I have a feeling I will have some visitors tonight.
