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.

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):
