Catalina State Park was our preferred campground for our first trip. Afterall, who wouldn't love to be far enough in the mountains to be camping, but still have a WalMart and the rest of town just a couple of miles away? Bummer though, they didn't have any openings this weekend due to the Gem Show.
After some searching we found a campground west of town out near the Desert Museum and Old Tucson Studios. When we called they told us that we doing what is called a shakedown.
Boy, did we learn a few things! We didn't know that we didn't have a hose on board or that it would take 10 hours for the refrigerator to cool down! Luckily we were close enough to town that we could go back in town to get everything we needed.
Our little Girl Scouts also had a cookie booth to do for a couple of hours. So Craig and the younger two gathered all the supplies and took them back to the site while the girls and I finished up the cookie booth. Then we all went back and spent the night in Daisy!
Poor Daisy didn't come home without a few scratches, but nothing too serious. We are looking forward to our next adventure over Rodeo Break!
