I want to apologize to all those who caught the edge of my temper--I'm not normally as bossy as I appeared. I want to thank all of those who helped in getting the rope arid first-aid kit up the hill, helped the less experienced over the rough spots and helped me to find my way down.
Special thanks to Randy Bernard, Mel Lees, Stan Icen and Donna O'Shaughnessy for their efforts. With one exception, it was a pleasant group to associate with. --Art Blauvelt
P.S. For you birders, there were lots of Horned Larks, several Burrowing Owls, Lesser Nighhawks, many Swainson's Hawks and Rosy Finches.
