With two sites now, there is something most weekends, and a few week day events. I hope the weather cooperates for our three volunteer hikes that allow us to get out and stretch our legs. Tomorrow may be dicey though, if it decides to snow.
As for events, I am particularly interested in seeing Ned Tillman’s event out at Belmont.
See you out there, I hope.
