Would like to sail there someday. Looks great.

One place I've always wanted to go! Thanks for the pics...

Lynda, beautiful pictures. How many people live on the island?

Lynda, those are some great shots. Maybe someday I'll get there and see it for myself.

Hi Steve ~ It would be a long sail from Lake Mead!

Rene ~ It's a fun place to visit.

Hi Sharon ~ Wikipedia says just under 4,000. Last time I checked was decades ago, my then business partner had a place there. The population as you can imagine swells in the summertime.

Hi June ~ Catalina can be a day trip for us who live in SoCal. If you have the time to spend a few days there are wonderful. You can explore the island, I've hiked all over it myself, lots of hills.

Hi Lynda - I didn't realize it was that far. Great spot for a day trip or short vacation.

What a great place. There is such peace and serenity near the ocean. (At least until the big storms roll in) Great shots.

Lynda

You have so many great places to go in your area. It must be lots of fun to just go on short excursions!

Lynda looks like a great place to visit. Really lovely shots.

Hey John ~ You are absolutely correct, it's a great day trip for us. The Catalina flyer normally has several trips a day. Your new photo looks good.

Hi Randy ~ Thanks so much!

Trey ~ So true, yet I'm surprised at times how many people who've lived hear for decades and never been to Catalina.

Hello Jennifer ~ Thank you, always good hearing from you my friend.

Thanks for answering my question about the population, Lynda!

Have a great day!

Lynda - Catalina used to be one of our favorite sailing destinations when we lived in So Cal. The perfect weekend trip!

Lynda Catalina is an amzing place for an "island" trip - relatively inexpensive Karen

Lynda,

Quite beautiful. I noticed the bicycles - how well did they do on the crosssing? :)

Steve

Lynda, you live in such a beautiful part of the country. How wonderful to be able to enjoy views like this often.

Hi Karen ~ I can see why, it's such a beautiful place. It's funny how much further away it seems from L.A.

Hi Karen ~ Yep, I think it's really an affordate get-away.

Steve ~ Well it's a little hard getting there, but once you arrive it's a great way to get-around the island. They have a limited # of vehicles, I hear it takes years to get one of your own. They only allow replacements and not additional vehicles. So bikes are a good thing, except for the hills.

Hi Maggie ~ So good hearing from you, thanks!

Wow them are some really good pics would love to visit it sometime---Bart

Beautiful, Lynda. Have never been to Catalina. Probably won't - I get seasick. :) But I can enjoy it this way adn that suits me just fine.

Jeff

Lynda

Like the lighthouse; being from the midwest I have a soft spot for these.

Lynda,

Have been to Catalina many times, but have never stayed on the island. We scuba dive and spent many weekends during the 90's right off the shoreline of Avalon enjoying the kelp forest and sea lions. Quite an amazing and restful place.

How quaint looking - it would be a real treat to go there and spend a few days.

I've been to Catalina before when I was a teenager. It was fun. Julie
