Santa Catalina, Take 2

Yesterday marked the 2nd trip I've made off the mainland to Catalina Island since December. This time, instead of just

getting loaded in Avalon and riding bikes around, Jam and I decided to take a tour into the interior of the island. The views were absolutely spectacular and it was nice to get a glimpse at what mainland California must have looked like in the past. Catalina has a very unique and interesting history, including indians, smugglers, moviestars, "exotic" animals (bison were imported onto the island during the making of the "The Vanishing American", or so they say..), and wealthy business men-most noticably William Wrigley Jr.-who bought the island in 1919.

I'd really would like to go back and do some camping there.

"ladies and gentlemen, if you look around the vessel, you'll see there are dolphins all around us"
"Over to your left you'll see some buffalo laying in the sun being lazy"
"Jam, is that sunblock, or did a bird just sh*t all over your stomach..."

HAhhhhhh, priceless memories. I'd be lying if I said it didn't sometimes feel like a permanent vacation out here...
