Who’s up for some chilly camping with some warm chili? This is the official facebook page for the 10th Chili Butt Hang at Marsden Tract group campsite in Potomac, Md.
We’re going back to Marsden Tract group campsite. If you haven’t been to this site, please know it is more primitive with only porta-john toilets.
We’ll do communal Friday evening Chili.
In the past when we camped at this site, we all headed up the road to Hunter’s bar & grill Saturday afternoon for food and libations. We’ll do that again.
The campsite is a mile walk along the C&O towpath from overnight parking at Carderrock, but there is temporary access parking for unloading/loading across the canal along MacArthur blvd.
Please sign up on the google spreadsheet about what accompaniments you would like to bring for the chili. Saturday breakfast is individual, but feel free to bring extra to share with others.
