RP: The other experience that you had that took you out of camp was this hike that your class took to Winnaduma.

HN: Yeah. Our, I forget which class it was. One of our class got a permit to take the whole class across the highway, up the Cascade Mountains to Winnaduma, up to that Indian monument and the obelisk that sat on top of the peak there. We went all the way up to there and down again in one day. And it took us about six or seven hours to get up there and about two hours to come down.

RP: So you were on a... a bus took you up there and...

HN: A bus took us to the foothills.

RP: Uh-huh.

HN: And then we hiked from there up and down. I remember that as clear as day. That was kind of a fun trip.

RP: They're still up there.

HN: In fact, yeah, when I drive up 395, you look up there, you can still see it. It's still up there. Have you been up there?

RP: Yes, I have.

HN: Oh, yeah.

KP: So have I.

RP: Kirk has been up there.

HN: You have, too? Yeah.

KP: It's rough country up there.

HN: Oh, it's a pretty tough hike.

RP: Yeah.
