I took a visit to the UC Berkeley Bancroft Library archives the other day to take a look at old peak registers that have been archived there. This is so much fun! I saw the note from the first ascent of Mt. Goddard in 1876, and from the early ascents of Tyndall in the late 1800's. Very cool!

I'm going to pull a bunch of the boxes of archives next week, probably Wednesday afternoon. If anyone wants to meet up to check these incredible archives out, I'll be there all afternoon.

Have fun, I was there on the 28th visiting my son at school and had the same thing in mind. I arrived later in the afternoon and they wouldn't pull anything so close to closing. So I'll give it a shot some other time.

If anybody else is thinking of doing the same the library is now closed Saturdays until the state budget mess gets better.

bump! I'm going this afternoon (Monday, October 12th). If anyone wants to join me in Berkeley, email me DonnellyPA at gmail dot com or call me 760.819.1148 . Dorkin' out on historic summit registers for an afternoon- fun!
