#267 on Skyline

[Cy Kaicener]

Congrats Doreen! Not sure if you or Cy have the record now, but I think Fern is after it... I still wonder how you can walk down the tram road after Skyline. That would make me sore.

Doreen has the record by far (21 more than me) and she will still add a bunch more -- Ellen will become her next rival

My dear friend, no one could ever rival the Cy the Skyline King and Doreen the Skyline Queen I'm honored to know you.

Miles of smiles,
Ellen

Thanks for the kind words Ellen. I am one of your biggest fans and relive Skyline every time you post one of your excellent trip reports.

I remember a day many years ago when an angel appeared at the campsite overlooking Chino Canyon and offered food to me and my cramped up starving friend which was a great offering. This tan gazelle then quickly disappeared into the brush and out of sight and all i knew about her was that she worked at some RE company. Since then Doreen you have produced many wonderful memories and many laughs and a few tears of joy and as always, I can't wait for whatevs next! Congrats... Sid n Karen

Keep on, keeping on Doreen! It was great to finally meet you when I did Skyline recently. I did feel as though I was meeting a living legend!



p.s. Cy, you led me on my first two Skyline ascents and you are there with me in spirit each time i do the hike.

Norma - Thanks for the memory. I enjoyed your company.
Sid Davis took me up there the first time in the mid sixties with the Sierra Club.
He climbed San Jacinto 643 times mainly from the mountain station.
Twelve times in his eighties
