ORO VALLEY, Ariz. (AP) — Some 300 campers stranded at a park near Tucson due to flooding from recent rain storms were headed back to dry land Wednesday. Rangers at Catalina State Park were helping campers walk across the receding wash at the park's entrance. The park, located about 6 miles (9.6 kilometers) north of Tucson, has been closed since Monday morning after rains caused the Cañada del Oro wash to overflow. Authorities said swift-moving water and debris made the wash unsafe for crossing.
