...Waiting for the fish to bite or waiting for wind to fly a kite. Or waiting around for Friday night or waiting perhaps for their Uncle Jake or a pot to boil or a better break or a string of pearls or a pair of pants or a wig with curls or another chance. Everyone is just waiting...

Tucson, AZ to Roswell, NM

We finally made camp at Catalina State Park just outside of Tucson. We were tempted to leave the rainfly off so we could have an unobstructed view of the stars but for some reason didn't. Later that same night we were awoken by the sound of a torrential downpour and claps of thunder. The rain fly kept us dry and we went back to sleep, snug as a bug in a rug. This morning the weather is again clear and beautiful, and we're drying the tarp and bottom of the tent while we eat breakfast (and blog). We'll spend most of today driving to Bottomless Lakes, just outside of Roswell, NM.
