Later that week Dan and I returned to Catalina Island to camp for three nights in Hermit Gulch. We were able to go on a great hike to the top of the Island, go snorkeling off the shore, go fishing in Avalon off the pier (Dan caught two calico bass!), and enjoy the abundant wildlife on the island. It was such a great and inexpensive way to see the island! Our entire trip including food, travel, etc cost less than what most people spend in one night at a bed a breakfast in Avalon! Camping is awesome!
For those of you who are not familiar with Catalina Island it is a private island that is 26 miles off the coast of California that was once owned by Mr. Wrigley of Wrigley chewing gum. The Chicago Cubs (which he owned) used to have spring training on the island and their baseball field is still there! Now it is a magnet for people who want a quick getaway into nature and also a romantic escape for couples. Unfortunately, as we found out this trip it is also a magnet on weekends for those who like to party. A bummer and very annoying but it didn't ruin our trip at all. When we go next time we will go during the week to avoid that crowd. Up next is a trip to San Diego to go camping with friends in Chula Vista! We will be trying out our new big tent and our dog Jersey will be coming along!
