The Riverside Fishing and Poker Club, established sometime in the 80's I think (someone please send me this info) takes an annual weekend sojourn to The Gatsby House in Chatham. We think this might be the 12th year of the trip.
On the way to Chatham, this year, Paul and I decided to stop at the Lowell Holly Reservation in Mashpee. With a light snow, the walk was beautiful. American Holly trees, as seen in this picture, were especially pretty this day. We reached one of the two lakes and began walking around, but the wind was strong and we got cold.
The Gatsby House is large and can accommodate our group, which has been as large as 19 people. We have had a mix of weather, from very warm to snowstorms. The beach is within walking distance and everyone walks there at some point to collect shells, take pictures and bird watch. This year there was an especially high tide and there were more shells than usual, including some large ones.
Here are some friends with Paul - Jon and Ron - taking turns looking at several species of ducks and other water birds through Ron's scope.
The Gatsby House is visible from Chatham beach. It is the left house in this picture.
My interior photos were pretty blurry because I forgot to bring my camera battery and used my iPod. But I had to include this picture of Liz's chocolate bombe. We all enjoy food and there are several excellent cooks in the group, whom we all appreciate.
