Date: 4/4/24 7:19 am From: Diana F. <diana.fru...> Subject: Re: [Arlington Birds] Upcoming MBC trips this week and next
Since i had planned to go up the mountain and the trails will not be safe
by tomorrow, I am postponing my trip scheduled for tomorrow at Horn Pond to
next Friday April 12th 8 am meeting at the Lake Ave parking lot.
Thanks
