The last of the campers stuck in CatalinaStatePark after last weekend's rains should be leaving Friday.

CATALINA STATE PARK, Ariz. — For the last week, about 300 campers were stranded at Catalina State Park after the weekend of rain that flooded the wash that runs through the center of the park."I think that frustration is up there to the point where people need at least a better plan," Osborn said."I've crossed the creek no less than 10 times since the beginning of the flood," he said.But the campers began to grow frustrated with the communication from the park.

"People are frustrated and starting to get low on supplies," he said."And we really aren't being told anything and we've been watching a guy shoving around dirt for the last three days." After the group meeting with the ranger, they helped Osborn get his truck and trailer across the wash. "I planned on staying here until the end of the day and if someone needs a hand I'll give them a hand," Osborn said.——-
