Minutes for Meeting of 08-07-2002

Ramblers,

The recorded minutes were temporarily misplaced after the meeting last Wednesday so they are being posted quite late. No for-sure future hikes were planned however. We are still meeting every Wednesday at 5PM in Forbes building room 307 and almost always eat somewhere after.

Ramblers Hiking Club gear is available for use if needed by anyone. We have stoves, sleeping bags, mats, a lantern, etc. We should be improving our gear and attaining new items in the coming weeks.

ELECTIONS will be coming up soon after the start of the Fall semester.

• Shannon went on a hike in the Tucson Mountains in the early morning hours on Monday. She was disappointed at the lack a wildlife most likely due to the heat.
• Hanna hosted a great party honoring the departure of our longtime Ramblers and brand new "Ramblers Motel (Southeast)" homeowners, Torsten and Hiroko!! They enjoyed some tasty sushi after the party.
• Albert hiked the Marshall Gulch trail on Mount Lemmon on Sunday. He saw bear scat and tracks while hiking. He intended to meet up with Katy and her bunch at the specified location but after waiting for several hours, it began to pour down rain with tremendous force, causing him to be stuck at ski valley waiting for it to stop. Some kind soul eventually gave him a ride to his car.
• Joe went to Turtle Lake Wisconsin and wandered around farms and saw lots of deer. He also walked around the lake and it was pleasant. There was really, really good beer in Wisconsin.
• The Thursday after last week's meeting (1 Aug) was the showing of "A Shot in the Dark" which is an inspector Clusow[sic] Pink Panther type of movie. Massimo particularly enjoyed the humor in it. The Thursday after this meeting (8 Aug) was the movie night at Ross' showing "GiGi" It probably went well and was fun.
• Will lead a hike Sunday up Sabino Canyon at 6PM and possibly went for ice cream after. We will have to ask him how that went on Wednesday.

• Dan will be hiking several times this week during the morning/day. If you have time and want to go call him at 271-6916.

Nothing Further,

Ramble on!
