LAST HIKE - September 2

Fifty-seven WoWWs met at Red Schoolhouse Wines in Stone Lake.   It was looking like we were going to get really wet, but after a brief drizzle we had a pleasant three mile walk around Stone Lake and Wetland Park. Red Schoolhouse fed us a wonderful lunch with plenty of dry seating, followed by yummy treats provided by Betsy Schneider, Monica Lawson and Kathy Hanson.
