Patagonia Lake State Park (AZ)

Feb. 1, 2012 - Tom went into Patagonia this morning to get cell phone reception and a Wi-Fi connection.  He found a place for us to stay near Sierra Vista this weekend for the Cochise Cowboy Poetry Gathering.

We kayaked this afternoon.  It was a warm and sunny day.  We checked out one small inlet and heard the buzz of... could it be bees?  We didn’t linger to find out.  We’ve read enough desert warning signs to know that African bees can be a problem here.  It was a leisurely paddle, though, with more bird sightings.  Tom is still looking for the elusive Elegant Trogon, but then, so are a lot of other birders!

We played Cribbage after dinner.  It has been a long time since the two of us have played Cribbage together.  We played a lot in college, but that has been a long time ago.  We do play with a friend in Sequim (WA) and really enjoy a three-handed game.  Anyway, it was nice tonight to play a game together.
