Bays Mountain Park
Saturday, April 21st
We had a great hiking/camping trip at Bays Mountain!
Thankfully the weather turned out very nice. The rain held off and we all stayed dry (well except for the creek).

the planetarium show, hiking around the lake, camping at a primitive log cabin, geocaching, hiking to the fire tower, participating in a team building low-ropes course, and much more!
