Old business:
Wolfgang did talk on the air at KAMP radio here on campus. He talked about the club and its activities. He declared it a successful broadcast.

The Credit Card fundraiser was not working out so they did not stay for the additional 2 days. We will be receiving $150 for our efforts. Thanks to everyone who stopped by and checked on them throughout the week.

Past week's happenings:

  • Erich went "waterskiing"... on the snow, I believe. He also witnessed a spectacular jump, but unfortunately the jumper broke his neck in the process...
  • Wolfgang went to Seven Falls on Sunday... lots of water, 7 creek crossings, spectacular wildflowers & cactus, and nice views too. No swimming this time though... brrr....
  • Karl went to the back side of the Rincons this past weekend (overnight), starting at the Turkey Creek trailhead. There was tons of water and snow. Pretty high elevation.
  • John (?) Hiked Squaw Peak in Phoenix. He said it was very crowded (as usual...), and a short 3-mile hike to the top and back. Very green, some cactus in bloom, but not very many flowers.
