Sierra Club Potomac Region Outings (SCPRO) Winter Potluck Party








Once a year, I joined Sierra Club Potomac Region Outings (SCPRO) Winter Potluck Party to see my friends there, since I no longer take short hikes with them. It was 20f (-7 c) and felt like 10f (-12 c) outside today, but I made my way there by Metro trains to North Bethesda and made new friends over delicious food. There were over 100 people signed up, yet around 40 people showed up due to the cold weahter, icy snow road coonditions, and Super Bowl.
I made avocado beet salad with balsamic vinegar which was popular and led me to a couple who liked my salad. They run a tourism business from USA to Nepal, and live in Leesburg. They kindly gave me a ride to Silver line, so I can skip the single-tracking on red line to come back to Virginia.
The event also offered free travel books on a table. I really needed to attend this social event after being trapped indoors by the cold weather for one week. I only logged in 6 miles run this week.
