This morning we got up and hiked a few miles in Catalina State Park. First we headed to the Romero Ruins, where an Indian culture lived around 1,000 AD, and then on up to the Montrose Pools.

After hiking and showering, we decided to go golfing. We played 18 holes of par-3. Obviously Marc wasn't taking the competition very seriously. He didn't need to. Even in sandals, he beat me.
After golf, we grabbed a Sonoran hot dog and horchata before heading into downtown Tucson.

We ended the night downtown at the Meet Me at Maynard's event. It's a weekly three-mile walk-run event that ends with a patio party at a historic hotel. This week happened to be their seventh-anniversary, so the had 22 bands along the route, plus food samples at several of the restaurant stops, and a trivia question at each stop as well. It was one of the most fun things I've ever done. After we finished, we stopped by one of Tucson's breweries for a beer before leaving.

We planned to spend the night at the Pima Fairgrounds on the outskirts of Tucson. It wasn't free, but $12 on freecamping.net. We arrived around 9 p.m. and realized the fair is starting next week, so all the carnival rides were unloaded and ready to be set up, the grounds filled with RVs that I'm assuming housed a bunch of carnies. It was a little eerie, and we couldn't find the RV office in the dark, so we just found a spot and popped the top for the night.
