I spent the next three summers working logistics for courses at Marble and have many great memories of the camp and the wonderful people that I got to know. I visited the camp a few years ago just to bring back the memories and to take in the views of White House Mountain and Treasury Ridge that we all enjoyed every day.

My course was the most rewarding thing that I have ever done. Thanks to all that made is such a success.

But it's a difficult project and in reality the camp isn't in the most ideal spot. Difficult access, for example, and the physical plant is pretty run down. Nonetheless, something might come of it. I'm not in my office to access notes about this, but perhaps someone else will chime in. Lou Joe, there was and perhaps still is lots of positive energy behind the concept of buying the camp.

I was an instructor from about "69 to about '74. I recognize old friends in the photo incl. Dennis Hogan and Steve Andrews plus others I remember seeing around Basecamp. I often thought I would like to wander on up there someday to see the old place again. I know for me this was the Center of the Universe during those years. It was an amazing escape from the boring and tedious Midwest into a world of cutting edge education, the new world of climbing, and just plain fun in the mountains. Is the old place still for sale? What ideas have come forward to use the place? No doubt the road up to it is a problem because of expense to upgrade it. If it's still for sale I'll bet that has something to do with it. How about a bunch uof us buy it and just use it for a hideout? We could hang around the mess hall, drink lots of beer and then walk to Aspen. Just like in the old days! Joe Keoughan Hello all,
