5/4/2025 - 5/5/2025 Henry W. Coe State Park - Frog Lake - Middle Ridge Trail - Poverty Flat - Bass Pond - Spring Trail
I had the day off so packed up for an overnight backpacking trip. As I was about to head out I found out my brother and nephew were heading to Chesbro Reservoir to fish.
I ended up driving to Calero first by mistake but finally met up with them. It was chill. Fished pretty much all day. Tyler caught 7 bluegill.
I had second thoughts about backpacking but figured might as well. Sunset is around 8pm these days anyway. I arrived at Henry Coe Visitor Center around 6pm.
It was windy. Gusts that night got up to probably 30mph. The NatureHike CloudUp 2 outer fly held up well.
I found a tick on me later that night which kind of freaked me out a bit. I'm going to have to make sure I treat all gear and clothes with permethrin the night before now.
In the morning I packed up and headed up to Middle Ridge Trail and proceeded down to Poverty Flats. Spent some time scouting the Middle Fork Coyote Creek and took on the brutal climb up Poverty Flat Rd.
Stopped by Bass Pond and caught a few fish. Headed back up through Spring Trail for a nice climb back.
