Nine ULLRs met Friday October 3 at the U of M Arboretum for a fall hike.  The weather was perfect with clear blue skies, no wind, and a temperature in the high 50’s.  We walked the 3 Mile Loop and took many side trips to look at trees, shrubs, and still blooming flowers.  The maples and shrubs were just starting to get their fall colors.  At the visitors center were many colorful, seasonal decorations with lots of pumpkins, gourds, and many scare crows and other Halloween characters sitting, standing, and hanging around.  After our hike we all enjoyed a delicious lunch in the new Oswald Visitor’s Center Cafeteria.

Everyone said the Arboretum was a great place and that we had a great day for a hike .
