On July 23, 2024, the Los Alamos Mountaineers will have a special program event where we will share "Campfire Stories" at the pavilion at Camp May on the Pajarito Ski Hill.  Specifically, we will have a series of short (3-10 minute) talks given by mountaineers about their adventures (hiking, biking, climbing, skiing, boating) around a campfire at the pavilion. Do you have an adventure you’d like to share? We welcome additional stories as time allows. Please email annsats74@gmail.com to get on the list.  We are asking that people come with a dessert to share and we will offer smores during the campfire stories.

We will start the evening at 5:30 PM with a 1 hour hike out toward Canada Bonito (led by Bill Priedhorsky and Clarissa Yablinsky).  At 6:30 PM, we will start the desserts in the Camp May pavilion.  At 7:00 PM we will start the campfire stories where we will share adventures as we roast marshmallows for smores. We will end the evening at 8:30 PM.

Please come and bring a dessert to share.  If you would like to share a story, please email Ann Satsangi at annsats74@gmail.com the title/topic by July 21, 2024 .

We will return to our normal PEEC meetings in August.

Monthly Public Meeting and Presentation:


Normally held in the planetarium of the Pajarito Environmental Education Center (PEEC)
on the fourth Tuesday of each month. Now offering hybrid meetings with in-person and zoom options! Sign up for each talk at the Monthly Program page.

Social at 6:45.  Reports of recent and upcoming trips at 7:05pm.   Program to follow.

Visitors are always welcome!  Free refreshments!

Past presentations, and occasionally future, can be viewed here

 

Future Club Speakers:  In addition to frequent presentations by nationally known adventurers, we love to hear from our own members....not that some of you aren't in that group.  A presentation gets you a free club membership and dinner at the restaurant of your choice in Los Alamos.

LAM Member Presentations Wanted! The LAM Board would like to encourage our members to provide more of our monthly presentations.  We understand well that club members are an active lot, with a wealth of activities in their repertoire that can and have been inspiring to new and old members alike.  We have often focused our monthly presentations on the elite of the outdoor adventure world, and perhaps created the undesired effect of squelching the voices of our own members who participate in frequent beautiful and exciting adventures of their own.  Although our own activities are not always "world class", they are representative of what we "weekend" athletes can and do accomplish.  We want many of our programs to inspire the "I can do that" attitude in our members, not merely entertain.  Shock and awe may have their rightful place, but inspiration to participate and shine is our true goal.

 

Trip Leaders:  Post your trip by logging in and then going here.  If you do not have an account, contact  the webmaster. For overnight trips, please ensure that membership waivers for participants are current and recorded by the club Membership Chairperson prior to your trip.

Trip Leader Awards: The club will recognize trip leaders as described here.
