Headlines at Henry Coe Park

We went for a family hike at Henry Coe State Park on Easter Sunday. It's a pretty big park where people hike out and with the tents, fishing poles and guitars strapped to their backs. We only wandered in about a mile or so and then let the kids run loose to scare off the wildlife. Here is some of our adventure.

Josie fell as we were walking back to the visitor center. She started running downhill and fell right into a rut, banging her head on a rock. This led to sobbing for Mom and Mom having to hike uphill with Josie on my shoulders for a while. Her forhead was swollen and scabby but not horrible.

Upon returning to the visitor center, Xander and I tried to find our first geocache stash. Unfortunately the cache seemed to be missing. Granted, I've never tried geocaching before, but the hint was rather straight forward. Xander a little distraught that a stranger found the treasure first and left with it.
