A couple of week ago, we spent a Sunday afternoon hiking through Wunderlich County Park in Woodside. I continue to be amazed at how close we are to such beautiful open space. In addition to a great network of trails, this site includes the Folger estate (originally owned by the Folger family, of coffee fame). The museum is only open on Saturdays, but we did see the stables.
After a quick look around we consulted the map …
… and started off on our hike.
The boys went a little off-trail at times.
Ezra had to go down into the [hopefully not poison oak] wilderness to retrieve his favorite stick after he accidentally through it off the cliff. Well, cliff may be a bit strong but it was steeper than it appears here.
He put on Bruce’s jacket to protect himself against the possible poison oak, he found the stick, and no one ended up having an itchy rash so all’s well.
They also clambered down to check out this wreckage of some sort.
We continued on, letting Finn, our burgeoning map-reader, lead the way.
Here are a few more pictures, including one of the old out-buildings on the edge of the property.
