Martha was the Mystery Member at the September 16 meeting.  She is shown here seated between her brothers.

I missed the last meeting to join two friends to hike Arc Dome.  Arc Dome is an 11,871 foot peak in the Toiyabe Range south of Austin, Nevada.  Each year we choose a different Nevada peak to climb.  This round trip hike was 13 miles long with a net vertical of about 4,500 feet.  The landscape, tree carvings and views were fantastic.  This is my fourth time to the top of this peak and each trip was special.

 

Nice basic campground with access to the Toiyabe Crest Trail.

 

Basque tree carving - "Los ojos lo miran."  It seems to mean "The eyes that watch", but I could use help with the translation.

 

High plateau at midpoint - over 10,000 foot elevation

At the top - 11,871 feet

 

I want to thank Immediate Past President David for leading the last meeting in my absence.  Cheers!

Chris Cutshaw of Friends of Nevada Wilderness spoke to the club about how the organization is protecting wild Nevada and how interested members can get involved.  I'm disappointed that I missed this one!
