**Note: Carpooling is greatly encouraged due to the limited parking spaces at the hiking locations beginning October 7 at Risley Pond. We will meet in the Big Y shopping plaza (far right side fac- ing the plaza) at 12:45 to form carpool groups, leaving at 1:00. Volunteer drivers (rotating) are appreciated but not mandatory. Carpooling will not be needed for the first two hikes so we will meet at the hiking locations at 1:00 for those two dates.
