The bad news is….the weather tomorrow is going to be in the 30s. I've hit my low temperature limit, especially after standing in the cold today for two soccer games.
The good news is….. we will have our first AdventuRamble tomorrow morning. We will check out the newest Trustees of the Reservation property Farandnear in Shirley, MA.
We will meet at 10:00 at the parking lot at 156 (?) Center Road, Shirley. There are 2 1/2 miles of trails. When we've had enough, we will eat lunch at Devens at the Natural Cafe and Market at Devens. http://www.thenaturalcafe.biz/ at 176 Jackson Road, If enough people complain, we can go to the Devens Grill http://www.devensgrill.com/ at 4 Ryan's Way in Devens.
Starting Point
I don't believe there are bathroom facilities, so plan accordingly.
