Day 2…another LONG day of driving.  It didn’t help that I had a tough time sleeping… I woke up early, made myself a cup of coffee, and started driving.  Once I got to Blythe, I pulled over, got gas, and made breakfast. 

On my way to Catalina State Park, I visited Biosphere 2.  What an engineering wonder!  Although the history of Biosphere 2 is a bit muddled, its current environmental lab the facility provides many opportunities for study and research.

Biosphere 2 – the tall part is the library, which was seldom used due to the tall circular stairs needed to access it
