Wednesday, February 17, 2016, Greenways & Hamlen Woods winter hike
Hike Leaders: Tony & Margie Lee
~5.7 mi, 10:00 am start from Greenways, Wayland, MA
Hikers (14): Margie, Tony, Adena Schutzberg, Bob Anderson, Bob Cheney, Carol Anderson, Chuck McWilliams, David Wean, Ilkka Suvanto, Jack Mroczkowski, Janet Miller, Maurice King, Roy Westerberg, and Winnie Parker.
Present at lunch (3): Don Mannes, Helen Greitzer, and Susan Sabin.
Bright sunshine and blue skies brought out fourteen hikers. Traction devices helped many of us negotiate the parking area at Greenways. We hiked north and then west, along the border of Sandy Burr golf course, where Tony gave an overview of the 12th hole on the course. We passed two fenced-in areas of new plantings to attract butterflies and bees. We then headed south alongside the Sudbury River, stopping at the Paine family pet cemetery where we viewed grave markers for their many dogs and Simmy, their pet monkey.

Departing Greenways, we hiked out the drive, crossed Old Connecticut Path, walked up Herland Way, turned onto the aqueduct, crossed Rte 27, and headed up Woodridge Road to an entry to Hamlen Woods. We eventually reached a northerly outlook over agricultural fields. Passing a water tower, we hiked down to Old Connecticut Path and across to the aqueduct, which took us back to our cars.
We covered approximately 5.7 miles in about two and a half hours, following which we were joined by Helen, Susan, and Don at The Chat for lunch.
