Friday evening rained. Rain all night. Rain in the morning. Camp organizers cancelled the hike. Loy Moser and Rex Nelson stayed behind to ensure everything was cleaned up and Michael Gordon hiked up from Franklin Basin Saturday morning, noticed everyone coming down. The three of us decided to do the planned hike up to Wilderness Peak.

At the summit, 9460 feet, water boils at too low a temperature to reconstitute powdered soup. So that part was a slurry and not very good. The tortillas with cheese and salsa worked well enough and of course granola bars are effective pretty much everywhere.

The view is fantastic.


The following pages constitute a slide show and photo selector.

The slide show itself is intended for sequential viewing of a collection of photographs.

Each page includes in its title bar, and underneath, the file name of the photo. This is useful when corresponding to someone about the photo.

To advance to the next photo: Clicking on the photo advances you to the next photo unless you are on a thumbnail or zoomed photo, in which case clicking it takes you to the 'normal' size.

Below each photo is a set of links (buttons) to advance, return, or exit the slide show.

To download an image: Right click the image and choose "save image as."

Each photo includes a button to ZOOM to a larger size. This size is intended to fill the screen for closer inspection, or for saving as a computer 'wallpaper', or for download to your disk for use in newsletters and other medium-resolution needs.

Each photo includes a button to zoom HUGE to the largest size, usually the cameras maximum size. This sizes are suitable for full page printed advertising.

A thumbnail gallery is available for visually selecting photos. If you choose this option, clicking a thumbnail puts you into the slide show at the photo chosen; from there the slide show proceeds with the remainder of the show.
