First NORSA Picnic at Carderock, MD

The first of hopefully many picnics to come was held this past weekend at the park in Carderock, MD, off Clara Barton Parkway across from the David Taylor Model Basin. NORSA's DC area contingent gathered in force to enjoy picnic food, good times, and a some summertime fun by the Potomac. With dogs, burgers, and sides on the menu, the happy NORSA folks filled their agenda with frisbees, footballs, and brief canoe trips over to Scott's Run, a small waterfall on the Virginia side of the Potomac that splashes into a clear pool. Steve was smart enough to bring his camera and waterproof case to get some awesome footage of an American eel foraging for food while two other eels fought in the background.

NORSA is planning many more such social events similar to this one because the picnic was such a success. The only reason it ended before dark was because of the rainstorm that came along. Although some NORSA members were actually enjoying the rain while out on the river. Stay tuned to the Upcoming Events for more opportunities like this one.
