11.15 Redmond Water Preserve

4 new members attended their 1st event. 13 in all braved the grey clouds and drizzle to walk the 5-mile outer loop at a great local forested area. The trail is wide and mostly gravel undulating slightly as it meanders through the forest. Yes, there was roots, puddles and muddy spots. But there were vibrant colors, engaging conversation and a supportive strength that carried us all the entire way around that park.  Amy surprised us all with homemade cookies when we crossed the finish line back at the parking lot. From there the making of Friends and Dopamine continues as we warmed up and recharged at a nearby MOD pizza.  Another great day with good friends soaking up the energy of the forest to recharge our souls. Can't ask for a better way to spend the day!
