Henry Coe Backcountry

Today we are hiking the Henry Coe state park - from the other end!
Once a year the park opens up easy access to the back country.
Leilany and her family went camping there, and we met up with them when we came for our hike.
We even had a small hike together, until Leilani fell asleep on top of Andy's shoulders.

Then we went in search of the stream, and the falls (well, I was looking for fish and wanted to throw stones in the water actually).
Of course we had to stop for a snack first.
Apple for myself, tea and biscottie for Mom and Dad.
(Grandpa - the tea on the hike idea works great!)

Then I went fishing, and searching for tadpoles (some people who actually went swimming said we could find them, but I didn't actually find any).

And to finish the day off, we went to check out the ghost tunnel!
Actually we just made ghost sounds and the echoes made them sound really funny, but it was fun.
In fact I wanted to stay, but we only had a day pass, so we had to get out before the gate closed.
Maybe next year we can go camping here...
