We met at 0700 at the locked
gate which is about 2 mi south of the Barcroft Lab on the road to White Mtn
Peak. I was unsure as to the amount of parking space at this place but it turns
out that there is a great dale of level space. Some of us prepared for the
possible marmot threat to radiator hoses, in my case by attaching chicken wire
to the bottom of the engine compartment, but no marmots came forth. We started
with some worry about the weather. It had rained and sleeted on Fri and on Sat
there were clouds covering the peak. However as the morning passed, the clouds
dissipated and we sat in the sun on the summit. We returned to the cars by mid
afternoon and some of us had a good dinner at Jack and Jeffs restaurant in Big
Pine. There was considerable activity at the Barcroft Lab site. Different
aerospace companies had technical people and vans of equipment. They were
preparing for competitive tests (?) of ranging (?) devices to navy aircraft
starting on Mon. We slept off of the Saline Valley Road in a pleasant area
at the base of Waucoba. It is about 0.3 mi north of the poor dirt road that is
shown on the topo and named in the peak guide. On Sun we started from the camp
at 0700 and hiked SW to the poor dirt road and then up the slope to the summit
of Waucoba (±3900', 7 mi rt). The footing is quite good and there is
little brush. We returned to the cars by 1400 to end a fine outing.
