Recently we headed out for an afternoon of exploration at
Palmer Park. This park is great for families as it offers a wonderful forested experience in the metro area. As you drive in the main entrance you pass a few holes of the
L.E. Kaufman Golf Course, and enter the lush forest of the park. There are a number of great trails for walking, running, or cross-country skiing. But one of our favorite areas is the boardwalk along Buck Creek. The board walk stretches the entire length of the park and connects to the Buck Creek Nature Preserve and Lemery Park.

We always get a kick out these concrete structures in the woods which always bring up some sort of LOST reference since they resemble the 'hatch'. I'm always thinking don't go down there and don't push any buttons.
