With the arrival of colder weather and deer hunting season still on through the end of December, we fall back on one of our favorites; meet at the Damon Road parking lot at 1 p.m. and walk on the bike path to the Hadley Dike. If it is too windy, we can walk on the bike path to the West Street Commons in Hadley. COORDINATOR: David Herships; (Cell phone) 413-320-2799; email: davidhersh22@gmail.com
