October is a wonderful time of year to get out and visit your local Refuge. The weather is great, animals are active (bring binoculars) and the scenery can be spectacular! What a perfect opportunity to combine our love for the outdoors and amateur radio. Not sure where to go in your area? This website will help you locate one of the over 500 refuges in the system: www.fws.gov/refuges
