Minutes for Meeting of 05-13-98

Hello everyone!
To those of you who have finals, good luck! We will continue to have meetings every Wednesday at 5pm in room 283 so come if you can.

Erich went to the Upper Palisade Trail and Lizard Rock in the Catalinas over the weekend, and there is still snow up there!

Todd and Matt went on a backpack to the Bear Wallow Wilderness in the White Mountains. Elk, birds and even a coyote were spotted. It snowed on them for an hour and a half on Friday! There drove further north on Sunday and then came back.

Everyone else was studying or partying over the weekend (I hope the former!)
