Another wonderful Wednesday walk. The weather was near perfect, maybe a tad warm in the sun! Seventeen people attended including a couple from San Jose, Calif. (and their local family). We walked the Androscoggin River Trail in Lisbon and it was very birdy in pockets. Lisbon has done a great job with their trails and they are all very well used.
