Henry Coe

This weekend we joined some of our friends for a birthday weekend (not ours, theirs) backpack trip to Henry Coe State Park. HCSP is California's largest state park. It is a wilderness gem in California's crown just a few miles south of San Jose.

We saw roughly a trillion lady bugs...really an amazing site:
