I think SCOOPS
DU JOUR is FABULOUS!' It's fun and updates those of us in our extended
peak-bagging family, who don't attend all meetings. Every Sage is now like a
Christmas Letter! I'm sad that a few people don't approve of SCOOPS DU JOUR.
Their sensitivities, of course, should be respected; never mention THEM. I pray
that those few detractars shall find more joy in This Life.
 Keep it up! - Dale Van Dalsem

| I would like to second the
nomination of Mt. Moriah to be added to the DPS List. Vicky Hoover gave a very
good description and a number of reason. for adding it to the List. I would
like to add just a couple of things. Mt. Moriah at 12,064' is the only peak in
Nevada (other than satellites of Mt. Wheeler) that is between 12 and 13
thousand feet. This fact, together with being in a clearly separated part of
the Snake Range from Mt. Wheeler, adds to its worthiness as a peak that should
be added to the List. There are also a number of other worthy desert peaks in
central and eastern Nevada that might well be added to the List but I'll leave
that for another time. |

Dear Ron
After sealing my letter, read Was
Shebeirg's letter on Trail Canyon. No, there is no definitive answer on Trail
Canyon. Talked with Ed Rothfuss, superintendant of DVNM, last month about Trail
Canyon. It is officially closed, but a debate is going on about what to about
it. There are those who want it closed because there are a couple of endangered
weeds along the trail. They will probably open it as a one-way route when they
get around to it. Ed and I had quite a discussion about which way to open it.
He was in favor of making it one-way downhill, because that is an easier route.
I was in favor of opening as an up-hill route. Because if you were going uphill
and got stuck, you should be able to get out. If you were stuck going down, you
might become a big piece of litter.
Will be talking with Super. Ed in
three weeks and will attempt to get the latest dope on Trail Canyon. |

Mary,
Attached is a
news item for the Desert Sage's Scoops du Jour section.
Responding to
your query in the last Sage, I'd have to say that Scoops does make for some
interesting reading and does not seem to be printing trashy material. I would
like to see it continued in future editions.
Regards,
|
Dear Ron, You've done wonders
in jazzing up the old Desert Sage. in the past I had the distinct feeling that
someone was just pasting up a conglomerate of desert related articles. Now it
has a personality of its' own.
Keep up the good work!!! Best
Regards
Bill Bradley |
