Triple Crown

opens not this Saturday but next - May 19
This summer's "Triple Crown" is the quest to climb three mountains in our local area: first, Mt. Ogden; then, Ben Lomond Peak; third (though perhaps it will end up being second as that's open to debate) Mt. Timpanogos. Everybody, and that means absolutely everybody, is invited to participate. Friends. Relatives. Neighbors. People you've never even seen before. Terrorists also welcome but we can't give them the discounted fare.

So "we" - that is, the Band Hall Inter-Ensemble Summer Activities commitee (orchestra as well as band, choir, and so on) - have elected to head up for Mt. Ogden in the early morn of Saturday, May 19, 1007. We will be meeting at our beloved VBC at a time to be announced and then carpuddling up to the trailhead. For those who, like Jon, will be busy, an alternate hike will also be carried out as Mt. Ogden is a good one. Further details will be posted; but my usual program (which I have found pretty effective) is to bring a sack lunch to eat at the peak (which easily seats twenty people) and then, once we reach the bottom, to reward ourselves with Ice Cream - Farr's has a double cone they call the "mount ogden", but that's open for discussion.

So in quick review the facts are:

We are going up mt. ogden sat. may 19 please come bring lots of people watch for more info.
