This is a short one overnight backpacking trip, NO A DAY HIKE, not a cabin/car camping event, we will be carrying on our backs all what we need whit us from star to end of trip. Maybe your pass-of-right if you have never winter backpack before and want to test your cold weather gear. Considered an easy/moderate backpacking trip in Spring, Summer or Fall, not such thing in winter conditions. PS: The first 3 miles will totally kick you'r behind due to elevation gain so be ready, the rest will be easier. At 13 miles the Mudhole Gap loop isn't as difficult as a lot of shorter hikes. After we compete the first 3.8 miles to the ridge line near Meneka Peak the remaining 3/4 of the hike is either downhill or mostly flat, with the exception of a gradual ascent on the back loop. Little Passage Creek that runs through Mudhole gap is beautiful in the spring when the water is running with snow melt, I have never be there in cold weather conditions, this will be my first full winter visit. GEAR LIST What you need to bring: 1.) Tent 2.) Sleeping bag rate 15F 3.) Sleeping pad 4.) Rain suit 5.) Warn hat-globes 6.) Extra pair of socks. 7.) Backpacking stove + pot/cup/dish/spoon 8.) Dehydrate food for yourself. 9.) Big mouth bottle NOT camelback since the house will froze. 10.) Snacks/sandwich/power bar, etc. 11.) Water - I do recommend at least 2 lither. 12.) Water purification system 13.) Micro spikes (a must have) IMPORTANT:Saturday everybody take breakfast at home or on your way to meetup location (Vienna-Metro), or we can stop at any food place around, lunch will we on the trail while we are on the move, you NEED to bring food for Saturday dinner and breakfast/lunch on Sunday + snack/water/drinks for both days wile we walk in and out, again we will stop for lunch and/or dinner on our way back home.

Join us for the Friday Night Fitness Skate! A 12 or 8 mile fitness skate that skates the same route each week so you will know the route and pavement hazards (since it is dark) and be able to work on form, endurance or speed as the cold wind is pushing against you! ;) The route has nice long stretches of uninterrupted skating, open roads with very few cars and the regroups are short and infrequent. We will meet at Freedom Plaza at 7pm as long as it is not raining, snowing and the pavement is not wet or icy. We’ll warm up with a skate to the Capital and then skate along the mall and museums to the National Monument. We will then head to the Lincoln Memorial through the World War II Memorial. From the Lincoln we will proceed to Haynes Point down Ohio Drive with the option to take the 3 mile Haynes Point loop (12 mile total skate) or practice stops or stunts at the regroup spot while others skate the loop (8.5 mile total skate.) The skate is mostly flat on good pavement with a small slope coming down from the Washington Monument and a 40 yard small slop from the Lincoln to Ohio Drive and a couple patches here and there. The wind can be very strong and cold especially on Ohio Drive and Haynes Point as we skate adjacent to the water. Please feel free to jazz up your gear with lights, I wear a helmet bike light (since it is pretty dark) and a set of body lights. Most of the regulars skate with lighted wheels for fun! Wear your lights so you have fun, can see and be seen! In case of bad weather, I will update this post via the comment section around 6pm on Friday. Of course, all skating is at your own risk. Hope you will come join us!

Private Group. Closed to the Public Knowing ourselves and understanding our abilities is the first step toward wielding our gifts with control and accuracy. In subsequent classes we will verify and hone our talents with activities and discussion. These are hands-on workshops and participation is expected. The goal of our series will be to develop expertise in areas of particular interest such as mediumship, channeling, divination, healing and, etc..
