Catalina State Park Circa 2019

Here we are, at the parking lot of In-N-Out, right across from Catalina State Park.  It seems the park rules changed this year, and it said we couldn't get into our sites until 2 PM.  No problem.  It gave Ron, Patty and their son Jeff their first chance to eat at In-N-Out, and they all loved it!

We headed into the park, with Ron and Patty following us.  It's time to do some camping!

Catalina State Park never disappoints.  Each night the mountains change colors, looking ominous when the dark clouds roll in, and absolutely beautiful when the sun sets and they turn into softer shades of purple and violet.

Below is what it looked like early one Monday morning, looking southeast towards Sandy and Jerry's 5th wheel.  So much better than being in the Midwest and looking out at dead trees and dirty snow.

Looking north towards the Catalinas, you can barely see Doris behind her truck.  We were both out early to watch the sunrise that changed the clouds into pinks and golds.

.  Besides that, we enjoyed many amazing sunsets, such as the one below:

The park is peaceful and quiet, except for the occasional coyotes yipping during the night.  I could have sworn one was right by us at 3:15 AM one morning.  It woke me right up!
