After driving 800+ miles and heading straight to Camelback Ranch, I am exhausted. There is so much to write, but I'm dropping fast for lack of sleep. They say a picture paints a thousand words. I'll have to trust that old saying and post some pictures before I turn in.
Camelback Ranch is an awesome facility. The game rained out, but I was able to be there early enough, (thanks for the suggestion Roberto), to head out to the minor league fields and see some intra-squad games and chat with former Dodger stars.
At night we went to Salt River Fields at Walking Stick, (another fantastic place), to catch the D-Backs-Dodgers.
On to the pictures...I'll post the long details tomorrow night.
