Catalina State Park, Oro Valley, Arizona. How the other half lives.

I'm irritated. It's cold, and how much souther can we go without special insurance?

Where we are tonight:



Where we were two years ago tonight:


Where no one should be tonight:











We've been comfortable with 30° nights, but that's our limit.

Can you do 29°?
Well, yes.
How about 28°?
Okay, maybe.
What about...
NO.

So, we booked a few nights in the Catalina State Park, where electricity flows like water, and water flows like that, too. With electric heaters at our disposal, we can keep inside temps reasonable overnight.

We uncovered the surge protector and the lock. The next ten minutes was a vocational aptitude test that indicated none. Annie walked away and remembered how we did it a year ago, last time we sucked power from an outlet.

With hot showers for the taking and cheesy romance novels in the book swap, forward our mail to Easy Street, The Park, Arizona.
