Panoramic view of mountains around Catalina State Park (click to enlarge)
After two nights at Lazydays campground, we drove 20 miles north to Catalina State Park. This is more our idea of a destination. Let the photos do the talking . . .

We had a lot of laundry to do so that means it’s time for a commercial campground!

We Found a Tarantula (~ 2-3 in)
After an overnight stay at Gallup, NM, it was on to Arizona, and Jan did the driving again. God Bless her. The drive to Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low, AZ was about the same distance as yesterday.
We’re at about the same elevation as Gallup, NM (6400 feet), so the nights are cold — in the mid-20’s.
Now we get the whole temperature/elevation thing — the higher up you go, the colder it gets. Our next stop after Show Low, is Tucson, AZ which is only about 2600 feet above sea level — much lower and much warmer at night (mid-50s instead of mid-20s).
Our Winter destination, Lake Havasu City, AZ, is only 735 feet above sea level. We’ll get there November 1st.
Some Show Low photos . . .
NEXT STOP: Catalina State Park near Tucson,AZ.

We left Albuquerque, NM about Noon and Jan drove us to our new campground, USA RV Park, in Gallup, NM.
I’ve been down with a cold since Tuesday and Janet has been doing all the work, since I have the energy of a slug.
I stopped into an Albuquerque walk-in clinic on Sunday only to be told I did indeed have a cold with at least 2 to 5 more days to go. Super.
The doc prescribed some drugs and they seem to be doing their job as I’m mucho better and might actually have to start doing things soon.
Night time temps will all be in the high 20s this week. Brrrrrrrr.
Say Hi
NEXT STOP: Fool Hollow State Park in Show Low, AZ.
Cardinal 5th Wheel Convention — a Granfalloon
Kurt Vonnegut, one of my favorite 60s authors, wrote a book called Cat’s Cradle. In it, he describes a religion called Bokononism.
One of its tenets — a granfalloon — came to mind when I saw the Cardinal convention at our RV campground.
