Sunday, November 8 – Spenceville Wildlife and Recreation Area. (1A). Around five miles with only a few hundred feet (at most) of elevation gain. Spenceville is well known as a spring bird and wildflower destination, but the fall and winter can be beautiful as well (summer is a little hot, dry and dusty). We’ll take an exploratory route and search for less-visited sites in the 12,000 acre property. We’ll plan for an easy hike and learn about the wildlife area and its history and management. Leader: Richard Thomas (530) 265-2666,
