Some of you may have read about my recent adventure at Henry Coe State Park. In a nutshell, I had my ass kicked and was totally whipped. I went almost 7 miles but it was the major elevation changes that were a killer.

Of course, Mother learned for herself…

After seeing my picture from Henry Coe on the web, Mother wanted to see the park. I decided to only go a short way to avoid the treacherous hills. So we went about 3/4 mile and there was not a lot of elevation change. I think that Henry Coe is so beautiful that you are compelled to go farther. As you can see from the picture on the left, Mother was really enjoying the park. This is where we decided to turn around.

Well now Mother discovered the treachery, you have to haul yourself back…

Just like my experience, we had went too far and Mother found out as that she had get back to the Visitor Center and our car. Believe it or not, she wanted to return the next day and did much better with the same distance.
