April 30 - Coe Backcountry Weekend

Another Spring time visit to Henry Coe State Park led by John.

We spent two night at the Orestimba Corral campsite with many other campers.

We had Olga, Buddy and Bryan joining John.

While John performed this volunteer duties with Olga, Buddy and Bryan did a short loop on the Orestimba creek trail.

The next day was a hike to Mississipi lake. John, Buddy, John's Ranger friend and myself hiked all around the lake.

Lots of fishermen were enjoying fishing at the lake.

We then took the up and down Hartman trail back to the campsite.

The next day we did hike on the Burra Burra hike with a geologist guest lecturer.
The discussion was to about the Burra Burra peak being the only extinct volcano within the Park boundaries. But it seemed like everything was discussed except for this little fact;-)
