| Edmiston,
secretary of the committee, requests nature lovers to support this worthy
project both financially and personally. For Desert Peaks, so intimately
acquainted with Owens Valley, this merits support. Those interested in
supporting the organization should write to the address below: |

$2.00 or more for 2 years. |

According to
leader Bob Greenawalt, there are still openings available for the Hi-Lo
Panamint traverse Bus trip. This should be one of the most spectacular
adventures yet engaged in by the DPS, so any of you still wishing to attend get
those checks ($11.50) in to Bob soon. Speaking of spectacular trips, we are
going to try to schedule another one next fall. Cerro de la Encantada (alias
Pichacho del Diablo) is in the cards for the 4 day Thanksgiving weekend if we
are able to find qualified leaders.
Several persons have suggested the
possible merging of the DPS Newsletter with the SPS Echo. Pointing to the close
cooperation between the Rock Climbers and the Ski Mountaineers in publishing
Mugulnoos, they see no reason why it can't be done successfully by our section
and the SPS, two groups with heavily overlapping memberships. This proposal
will be brought up at the DPS meeting May 23rd, so I hope many of you will mull
it over and come up with some viewpoints on the matter.
I hope to see
many of you at or next meeting - Wednesday, 7:30 p.m., May 23rd at club
headquarters in Los Angeles. Besides the issue mentioned in the above
paragraph, we will be planning an outstanding (we hope) fall schedule
highlighted by the big one in Baja.
Congratulations to our first new member
of the year - Charles Eugene Gail. Charles climbed his sixth qualifying peak on
the Nelson-Coso trip last month. |

| DO NOT BE AFRAID:
It will not be too hot on the May 19-20 DPS trip to the Sheep Range in Nevada.
The road ends at a high elevation (7900') and we plan to camp there if the road
is passable that far. A new map (Hayford Pk.) has just been published and
Hayford Peak has "grown" from 9730' to a highly respectable 9912', while Sheep
Peak is up to 9750'. The campfire program should be of considerable interest,
having as a speaker a scientist from the research station of this largest game
refuse in the USA. |
