Yes, Spring is almost here. Some of the poppy reserves are already opening up. I have also seen some really good pictures on our HPS fb page of many spring flowers. I hope you are getting out often to enjoy the outdoors. Our HPS Annual Awards Banquet held on January 11, 2020 was really fun. I called us all “crazy peak baggers.” We like getting up early and coming home late just to climb some obscure peak(s) somewhere in Socal. The Banquet was well attended. David Harris, our speaker, was entertaining and had some suggestions on how HPS could be even more successful. Congratulations goes to all those that earned certificates and/or plaques. Also, thanks very much to all who helped make the Banquet a success. I hope that you all enjoyed the Banquet as much as I did. Our next event is the Annual Spring Fling on May 30 & 31. It will be held again at the Keller Ski Hut in Big Bear. This is a really nice facility that we enjoyed last year. Check for more details in this Lookout. Note that our Waterman Rendezvous is on June 27. See you all there. At the May 3, 2020, Angeles Chapter Awards Banquet, Hundred Peak Section will receive the Citation of Merit. This is awarded to an Angeles Chapter entity for its help and support in Angeles Chapter activities and achievement of goals. This award is not often given out. We earned it. How cool is that! I am reserving a couple tables at the Banquet. If you wish to come, please contact me for details. Happy Peak Bagging.

We only had one entry by Dennis Loya and it is illustrated below. Dennis described his entry as follows: “The outline of the area is the shape of the entire Joshua Tree National Park, and the map is a blown-up area of the area of where 4377 is located. The medium is pen and ink, and pen acrylic paint for the red and blue topo symbols.” As the sole entry, Dennis receives a $50 REI gift card. For those interested in map design, there are many excellent books on the subject. Two recent acquisitions for my library are The Red Atlas: How the Soviet Union Secretly Mapped the World by John Davies and Alexander J. Kent (The University of Chicago Press 2017) and Cartography by Kenneth Fields (Esri Press 2018). For a collection of outstanding online maps, check out the ArcGIS Living Atlas of the World at https://livingatlas.arcgis.com/en/. ae Upcoming Navigation Events We started off the New Year with a big group at our Indian Cove Navigation Noodle. Our February Navigation on Snowshoes was well attended and all participants got the opportunity to try to hit me with snowballs. Mt. Pinos Navigation on Snow, February 1, 2020 Our next navigation noodle is at Warren Point on April 25-26, 2020. To sign up, please send your complete contact information (mailing address, telephone numbers) to me. At all of our navigation events, we can work with beginners. No prior navigation experience is required. All are welcome!!! I welcome your navigation questions.
