HENRY COE HIKE, Saturday the 12th



What? Wild flower hike & Picnic - Henry Coe State Park. We’ll hike to see the amazing wildflowers painting the hillsides & have a Picnic Lunch (the famous Laurel Buchanan Sandwiches). Plan on a good part of Saturday being taken: we'll have dinner/hang out at the Jelly Belly outlet and try Lisa's amazing restaurant.

Where? Henry Coe State Park (Down near Morgan Hill/Gilroy)
http://www.coepark.org/

When? This Saturday, April 12th
Carpool leaving at 9:37AM From Christian's house

Then we’ll drive to Henry Coe where we'll arrive at some random time. I'm going to confirm that there aren't thousands of little rivers running through the place I want to start, but most likely they will, so we'll probably start hiking from the Henry Coe Headquarters.

What to Bring? This Saturday will be HOT. And Henry Coe is drenched in sun! So bring plenty to drink and some friends. Picnic lunch will be provided.

Sandwich Maker Help Requested – Are you one whose eyes open as soon as the sun pops up? At 8:30 AM I will start making some sandwiches to take on the picnic. This is your chance to learn the famous Laurel Buchanan Sandwich.

Questions? Call Christian: (408) 431-4282
