Write-up by Steve -- Pictures by Ross and Steve

In honor of Judy and Peter E's recent marriage, I gave them gift of no leaves (!) -- they made it to the Mt. Home, but couldn't find the trail up to East Peak (or maybe they just hit the bar early?). Otherwise, everyone made it up and back alive, with the possible exception of late-comer Dave H who Janice claims she met on her way down. Some of us stopped for a couple beers at the Mt. Home. An odd clutch of INCHers formed outside the Mt. Home, apparently fearful of entering the iniquitous establishment. Speaking of which, despite bringing a camera, I failed to take a picture of all of us enjoying a pint.
