Josephine Peak

5 November 1988

By: Tom Armbruster

Leaders: Tom Armbruster, Bridgette O'Sullivan

We combined with the Sierra Singles' hike up Josephine, because their leader, Henry Shamma, was recuperating from open heart surgery. I don't know whether it was the half-hour later starting time, or that the word has gotten out that my deodorant breaks down, but six hikers showed up for the HPS trip and 39 for the Sierra Singles trip! We had 80°F weather, despite the November date. Best of all, we sparked a little interest in peakbagging among a couple of singles. A good time was had by all.
