Trip Report/Photos

We had a beautiful day at the Brownstone Park!  And although the water was a bit bracing, the partly sunny day helped warm everyone up.  Attendees included Minh, Doug, Luke, Lucas, Greg, Shawn, and newcomer Dave.  There was cliff jumping, rope swing, rock wall, zip line, water slide, climbing the Iceberg, the Rock-It, and lauching each other off the Blob.  All in all, it was a wonderful time had by all.
