How will you get outside this Christmas? We'll be in the Florida Keys, so I'm hoping to go swimming! For those of you staying in town, our calendar is a little thin this week. But there are a couple of hikes scheduled for next Saturday morning.
The Capital Hiking Club will be doing a 10 mile route along the Virignia side of one of the most beautiful stretches of the Potomac River -- from Riverbend Park to Great Falls.
And the Center Hiking Club will be on the other side of the river, hiking from Tenleytown to Rosslyn through Glover Archbold and Battery Kemble Parks and along the C&O Canal. Some of the group will eat together in Rosslyn after the hike.
Stay warm, and have a happy holiday!
