Day 5.007: A bit of everything in Coeymans

I'm travelling today, so it seemed like a good opportunity to catch up on some old news. Way back on Day 4.363 (my birthday) we had a small outing to the wonderfully named Joralemon Park in Coeymans.  We'd heard there were walking trails there.  We didn't find them, and decided against walking the ATV trails, but we did find plenty to occupy ourselves.

First, there was the river - fast moving with interesting ice formations where it slowed down.

Then we found out that the most of the park is taken up with an extensive disc golf course.  Everyone else we saw while we were there was there to play as far as I could see.  Whether it was a 'golfer' who mad the stone snowman we don't know, but we restored its 'carrot' nose when we came across it.

It turns out that a lens of wood shows Exile #2 and E5N1.  I didn't find a lens of stone.

There is a fascinating area of rocky outcrops - no doubt challenging for disc golfers - but also fun for adults and children alike.

Eventually, we left nature's playground for some more man-made adventures.  The swings had been removed, but this tunnel/slide was popular with E5N1 and Exile #4.

But the park had one more surprise.  Behind the playground we discovered a bit of flooded woodland that had frozen capturing fallen leaves in a glassy display case.  It was quite attractive - and fun for the girls because the ice was fairly thick and the water underneath (in case of breaking ice - which didn't happen) was safely shallow.

All in all - rather a good little outing. Next time maybe we'll take a our golfing supplies.
