Backpacking in Henry Coe State Park, May, 2000

On May 6-7, 2000, Melinda and I went backpacking in Henry Coe State Park (near Morgan Hill, CA). On Saturday, we hiked 4 miles from the car to the campsite, set up the tent, and then went on a day hike to the summit of Jackass Peak. On Sunday, it was raining as we hiked out of the park.
