Default Catalina, Avalon and us
Crossing AZ


Stopped in French Valley


I haven't been to Catalina in a long time. Forgot how sporty the runway looks. Sure was fun coming in. So fun that neither of us took pix. We enjoyed the experience and didn't even scream.

Pop Tart all tied down


Some dude thought he'd pose in my little moment.


Coming into Avalon via the bus.

I was thinking of Bill Murray's character in Caddyshack!

Great timing on this story. I'll be in SoCal in a couple of weeks and I hope to fly out to Catalina from Santa Paula if the weather cooperates.

Definitely Happy's indigent caddy!

Great Pics of Catalina trip. Love them!

When I was a young lad, my older sister arranged for me to be a summer camp counselor on the island. Those were great times living on that rock. wonderful.

Nice to see you enjoy Catalina too.

Rob

BTW, was nice flying with you in Madera. Hope to see you there next year.
