March 13th We checked out of the RV Park this morning and drove about 80 miles southwest to Patagonia, a very small community with a few shops, hotel, an eatery and gas station. Another 8 miles down the road is Patagonia Lake State Park. Our timing was fortunate as there were few camp sites available here and we didn’t realize the importance of finding a camp site until a little later in the day as we saw many disappointed campers who could not find a place to park here and had to drive on. We shared our camp site with a couple from Bisbee that were tenting. They had a lovely campfire this evening which they shared with us. We put our inflatable kayak on the lake and had a lovely paddle around a portion of the lake before dark. Many bird watchers and locals come to this camp.
March 14th We had a very relaxing day; we spent most of the morning paddling and floating around the lake. We probably spent too long enjoying the lake as we both got too much sun today. We paddled into a few bays, enjoying the wildlife, and spotted a blue heron and a deer at the lake edge. There were many people fishing from the shore and from boats on the lake. We never saw any fish being caught, but the people were enjoying themselves.
