Catalina Mountains dayoff

Yesterday was a day off from riding so we went to the Sonaron Desert Museum. It's quite interesting as it is like a small zoo. All the animals you would find in a desert...you find there along with stuff. There was a group of us that went and afterwards we went shopping.

That nite we had a cowboy nite...Chili and chips, a bonfire and Cowboy Joe came along to entertain us. Bubba gave us all cowboy hats and scarf to wear for this momentuous occasion. Cowboy Joe had some really cute funny poems he created from life happenings. Everyone got a big kick out of him until he got political about immigration and then we all started leaving....

Last nite also - the wind was so wild it was unbelievable. I couldn't sleep as everytime i dosed off part of my tent would wack me awake. I've never had a nite like that before...My biggest fear was that the tent would come down and I wouldn't be able to find the zippers to get out. Check out my tent before and after last nites wild wind storm. We all got up this morning laughing and exhausted as no one had slept. Our tents and everything we had was full of sand and grit... this is a crazy adventure.
