38 The Mountaineer 
outdistanced all of his previous culinary triumphs. He cooked 
such a dinner as will go down in history. First came clam 
chowder, then followed a ham and potato salad that would 
have turned Delmonico green with envy; lobster a la Newburg, 
maccaroni and cheese, spring lamb and mint sauce and dress- 
ing almost overwhelmed us, but the climax was reached when 
he brought out huckleberry cobbler, jelly patties with lemon- 
ade as a grand finale. 
August Sth a party of twenty made a trip to Chiwawa 
Ridge (7,800 feet). 
August 9th we bade farewell to our beautiful Buck Creek 
camp and followed a sheep trail six miles to the Big Meadows 
on the East Fork of the Suiattle. Here we were joined by 
three of our party, Miss Lovering, C. E. Forsyth and Earl 
Rice, who had made a separate ascent of Glacier Peak. 
August 10th, at 7 a. m., we left for camp at Lyman Lake, 
passing through Agnes Pass, then on through a fine Govern- 
ment trail to Cloudy Pass where we found a record left by 
Dr. W. D. Lyman, a member of our party, a decade before: 
“LYMAN Aug. 12, 1900. 
LEMMAN Cloudy Pass. 
CROWE.” 
We passed through North Star Park (5,000 acres), almost 
as beautiful as Spray Park on Mt. Rainier. We reached Ly- 
man Lake early in the afternoon and organized a trip to 
Lyman Glacier which feeds Lyman Lake. 
August 11th, we left Lyman Lake at 6 a. m. and walked 
ten miles to the junction of Railroad Creek and Ten Mile Creek. 
Here we lost the fishermen for many hours, but when they 
returned with bulging creels of cut-throat trout we forgave 
their absence and feasted. 
The evening of August 12th the dust-browned ranks of the 
Mountaineers had arrived at Lake Chelan, after following 
the Holden Mine trail for ten miles. The dusty path was not 
as pleasant as the cool meadows, but it was a very happy 
company who feasted their eves on the grandeur of Lake Che- 
lan and its encircling mountains. 
August 13th, the party boarded the steamer ‘*Lady of the 
Lake” and cruised the entire length of the lake, the crates 
of fruit generously bestowed by the Chelan Commercial Club
