people on the summit enjoying alcoholic and nonalcoholic champagne, and the fabulously clear view. Some of us walked over to the other summit to check out the transmitter installation, which was more substantial than last seen. Don Macri, potential new member climbed his sixth, qualifying peak. Back at the cars, McCully and Ruess surprised everyone with several gallons of ice cream and cakes. One car ran out of gas, and we had to go to Benton to get some. This did not dampen anyone's spirits. The party was great and the goodies were about the best that I have had at one of these outings. Thanks to all the contributors.

McCully and Ruess left after the party to go home to pack for their trip to Greece and Turkey. The Mamedalins and Turners also left early to go and climb Matterhorn in the morning. Suzanne was after her SPS emblem. (She got it) Congratulations! Monday morning several others bailed out for various reasons, leaving ten of us to climb the Crater Mountain. Everyone agreed that it is a fine peak with a superb view. The participant are:

My thanks to Jim Farkas for assisting (he is leaving for Nepal to climb Makalu). Also thanks to J Holshuh for assisting with logistics and communication, as well as helping people with car problems.
