At the Mountain View restaurant in Silverton after climbing Morning Star:
Before dinner:
Randy: "I'd like a burger deluxe with cheese."
Waitress: "Round here we call that a cheeseburger."
During dinner:
Waitress (taking a picture of the group): "Everyone smile and say bullsh##."
After dinner:
Randy (gesturing to the unfinished plate of fries): "We did our best with the fries."
Waitress: "City boy."
There was also a road walk, post-holing uphill, summit in the clouds, glissade downhill, another road walk, cool terrain some of the time, cool people the whole time.
Someone will fill in the details eventually.

I would like more details than the pleasant dinner conversation.

Well, I had a pretty good slice of apple pie a la mode. Can't say I recommend the water, though.

I didn't think Silverton was even populated, much less by witty waitresses in a restaurant I've never noticed before.

I think he meant Verlot.

Okay, a quote from mountaineering part of the trip:
Yana (brandishing her bared ice axe): "If anyone even thinks of going up the wrong gully, I'll kill him right now so I don't have to miss the summit waiting for him like the idiots who went up the wrong gully on my last attempt."
Okay, that's a paraphrase, but it's only slightly exagerrated.

My pics-
Over half of these were taken by Yana with my camera since hers had a fit or something, and I wasn't inspired by the fog/clouds to take many. Back to the notch descent descent 2 Janet ascends cornice City Boy Smile

Magellan, and anyone else that cares: there is a great route description in this previous Morning Star trip report.
Partners in crime today: Matt, Tazz, dicey, don b, cartman, Randy the trail breaking machine, PiB, and Mesahchie Mark.
Here are some of my pics:
The road walk to the trailhead:
Morning Star and Sperry
Del Campo from the valley of the South Fork Stillaguamish:

Morning Star (the summit is toward the middle and has a big cornice):
Morning Star Peak Cornice Up up up... Almost there!

Man, that was an awesome trip. Looked like fun! The pictures came out great! How does Morningstar compare to Vesper in views, difficulty, etc? I did Vesper last year and fell in love with that mountain and that area.
