Join us for Adventuring’s second PRE-Summer Picnic! We've decided it's just too hot in late July for picnics, so we're moving this annual event to May. We’re trying something new this year: Instead of a potluck, we are asking everyone to **bring your own lunch**. There is **no charge** this year for attending. We’ll be providing water, iced tea and desserts. We’ll also have an optional hike or two, plus a few games. It doesn’t matter if you haven’t hiked with us before or have only attended a few events – come get to know us and tell us what you’d like to see with Adventuring! Please **RSVP** via Meetup by 5 pm on Wednesday, May 14, so we can plan for the numbers. **Location:** Rock Creek Park at Picnic Grove #1 Shoemaker St NW, DC (just off of Beach Drive and across the road from Pierce Mill) **Directions**: • Driving/biking: enter ‘Rock Creek Park Picnic Grove #1’ into Google Maps • For those who prefer narrative directions: From Connecticut Ave/Tilden Street: As soon as Tilden changes from a divided to undivided road, take a right into the parking lot From Mt Pleasant/Park Road: After crossing the bridge over Rock Creek, pass Pierce Mill on your right, then turn left into the parking lot Via Red Line: Once at either Van Ness or Cleveland Park station, it’s about a 20-minute hike to the grove using either Tilden Street or the Melvin Hazen Trail.
