Cabin Fever Potluck and Presentation

Meet fellow outdoor enthusiasts, learn news about our club, and join in a delicious potluck dinner! After dinner we'll enjoy a great presentation about the Galapagos, 19 islands in the Pacific called a 'living museum and showcase of evolution' and a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

The presenters are Joe Gelinas and Roxanne Suprina, AMC Berkshire Chapter hike leaders, who visited the Galapagos last year. They have amazing tales and photos of the region and its wildlife.

High Water/Ice on AT in MA

The Trail segment between Kellogg Rd and US Rt 7 in Mass has been subject to high water and ice from localized flooding along the Housatonic River.  Even when water levels recede, there will be many places with thin/unstable ice 12" or more above the treadway.  Snow cover may make it impossible to determine where the ice is and is not.  

At several locations, the Trail is immediately adjacent to the riverbank, and hikers breaking through the ice could end up in the river, or in deep tributary streams.  Avoid this Trail segment until bare ground is visible on the treadway.
