A new spot means new adventures.

Diane and Bob Machesney suggested this area in Mercer County for our June 30, 2010 outing. Monica Miller sent photos from our time there.

This year we covered a different section of the Butler-Freeport Trail. Scenic old structures, beautiful flowers and good friends warmed the dull overcast day. Thanks to Monica Miller for these great pics and neat observations.

Chuck Tague took these pictures at the July 2009 outing at the Jennings Environmental Center.

On May, 22 the Club took a ramble along the Butler-Freeport Trail. Here are some of the member photos.
