- Patty Kline and Bob Hartunian
spent 4 days doing peaks in the Death Valley Ranges over New Year's during the
Arctic freeze. It was so cold that 2 of the nights they spent in the largest
motel in Pahrump. The motel wasn't ready for the cold either because the well
froze and nobody had any water in the morning. There was even ice at midday
inside the building at Tecopa Hot Springs.
- To produce two manuscripts at the
same time, Walt Wheelock has been busy. The Death Valley 49'ers got in a jam,
when the designated author for 1991 keepsake said he would need at least
another year to get his copy out. Walt volunteered to do one on DEATH VALLEY
BIGHORNS, and got it done in less than 30 days. Now to herd it through the
press. Then he went back to work on his own KERN COUNTY OHV TRAILS, which he
hopes to have out in the spring. It will be different than Roger Mitchell's
Jeep Trails books, in that whenever the OHV route passes near a 100 or Desert
peaks summit, he will include climbing instruction.
- Joe McCosker is continuing to
recover from knee surgery. He is now able to enjoy short walks to the
lighthouse. Get well Joe! o Wedding Bells? A new man? Tell us Mary McMannes,
who is your new beau named Gary that you brought to the party???
- A new brochure of important climber
