were invited to participate.

After our ride and subsequent BBQ style lunch,

I love the short hike through the grove of tall trees.

And it was during our walk that we saw Teddy Roosevelt.Wait. That's not the real Teddy!
Actually... here is the real Teddy Roosevelt...
Turns out, our Roaring Camp day coincided with the annual "Day out with Teddy Roosevelt" at Henry Cowell State Park. Many volunteers were in period dress, acting as Teddy's entourage.

Must be fun for the kids to see all the people in period dresses. Beautiful redwood pictures!
Sounds like a good summer day trip to me!
