Today was our last full day in the Tucson area but we were lazy and didn’t get much done. We took a drive through the town of Catalina, AZ, where we are camped. We found that the Wishing Well RV Park is near the center of activity in town because it is next to the Circle K.
We did find a store Peggy wanted to visit called Tractor Supply. We have seen them advertised but have never visited one before. I know – we need to get out more. Anyway, the Tractor Supply here in Catalina is great. If we still lived in a real house instead of a fifth wheel trailer, we could happily spend a great deal of money in this place. This store had a clothing section where they sell Carhartt shirts cheap.
Only about $60 later, we escaped with three shirts and a big bag of black sunflower seeds for birds. Last time we were in Texas, a bird-feeding neighbor stated that cardinals love the black seeds and the dozens of birds hanging out at his feeder indicated that he was right. We should be in Texas in a week or two but we’ll be ready to hang out our feeder so we can watch these easily-baited but gorgeous birds. We have at least one more stop here in Sierra Vista and maybe a couple stops in New Mexico before we get to Texas.
About a week ago, I guessed that we were set up at about 2500′ elevation in the Wishing Well RV Park in Catalina. Our GPS unit says I am wrong. The park is actually located at 3100′. From up here, if there are any clouds west of us, the sunsets are spectacular.
