Let's hike the Billy Goat A Trail along the Potomac River. It is one of our favorite hikes in the local area. It’s challenging due to rock scrambling and some steep sections, but it’s also rewarding as it has spectacular views of the Potomac River. We currently plan to meet at 10 am at [Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center](https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/greatfallstavernvisitorcenter.htm), which requires park pass or parking fee. If only a few people sign up, we will consider parking at the much smaller Angler parking lot. Will confirm when it’s closer to the date. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* From nps.gov: ### Section A **Level:**Technical and Strenuous **Length:** 1.75 miles one way **Pets:** Not permitted **Closest Parking**: [Great Falls Tavern Visitor Center](https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/greatfallstavernvisitorcenter.htm) **Map and Trail Tips:** [Great Falls Hiking Map](https://www.nps.gov/choh/planyourvisit/maps.htm) The hike involves scrambling over angled rocks, boulders and climbing. Visitors in less than optimal health, visitors with small children, and visitors not experienced or properly outftted should consider other trail options. The 1.7 mile hike takes most visitors 2-3 hours to complete. Along the trail are views of Mather Gorge and Potomac River. This trail can close due to fooding from the river. \*\*\*\*\*\*\*\*\* Please bring enough water and optional snacks and wear proper shoes. Climbing / gardening gloves are suggested for rock scrambling. Rest Room Facilities: There are facilities at the beginning and at the end of the hike. There are none along the trail once we start. In case of inclement weather, the hike will be canceled or postponed.

Whether you're Deaf, HoH, an interpreter, an ASL student, or just want to learn or practice American Sign Language (ASL), we welcome all levels of signers to come join us for an evening of ASL socializing and practice. This event occurs on the first and third Sundays of every month, in the heart of Fairfax County at the Fairfax Wegman's (corner of Route 29 and Monument Drive). We can be found on the upper level, typically near the stairs. We generally start around 7 pm. ASL beginners are welcome, but you should know the ASL alphabet and some basic signs - this is not an ASL class, but the more experienced signers are generally happy to help beginners learn and improve. There is no better way to develop your signing skills than by joining the conversation with other signers. There is a place for everyone to join, learn and practice. Regardless, we are always welcoming so don’t be discouraged to attend; this is very informal and new folks are always welcome. Note, some attendees arrive early and grab some of Wegman’s food for dinner, so you can combine a shopping trip with the ASL practice.

Monthly meeting: Second Saturday of the month International House of Pancakes (IHOP) 775 Rockville Pike, Rockville, MD 20852 7:00 PM – 10 PM. Late arrivals always welcome. Look for the table with someone wearing a red hat. Questions, please call 1-240-644-5230 Agenda: What are more things we can do to wake people up? What can we do to get more people involved? Other things people would like to talk about.
