Looking for photos of Yosemite dated June 2, 1967. Looking for weather and cloud ceiling information regarding a missing aircraft from that date that may have flown over Yosemite.. Thanks Dan

I suggest you try Doug Robinson and he might have knowledge to lead you to people in the direction to what you are seeking.

I thought #2 might be Tom Gerhughty, the face looks similar, and the color of hair, I met him a couple of years after this, and he had gained some weight by then.

One person who might have input would be Fossil Climber, or Loyd Price.

Missed this thread before. Pity we don't have a decent reproduction of this notorious photo; would maybe enable us to figure out more. Clint Cummins' and Dick Erb have it right as far as I can tell. Cummins' list below with couple of comments:

1 Madsen - certainly
2 Schmitz - certainly
3
4 Dave Bierchieff(sp?) - am unable to confirm.
5 someone else guessed Ton Kimbrough that's probable - Tom himself asserted that it was he, so no guess.
6 Mark Klemens - unable to confirm
7
8 Steve Williams - certainly
9 Robert Summers - certainly

^^^Yer whacked, i.b.

Chris, I concur with your list of names for this C4 rogues' gallery.

Here is a photo I took four years ago at Jeff Mathis' forest hideaway, Camp Runamucka. It is his original clipping of this vintage masterpiece of "Schlock Doc." Those IDs of yours, Chris, are exactly the ones which Mathis holds to.

This clipping was hung in the workshop at Sunset Inn for years and kept by Jeff in his collection of old photos.

I think it is clearer than the rest of these copies, which are a bit grainy.

I'm still going with Mathis as the sacked out #3.

All the best to you. See you at the Bridwell gig.

Great thread to show the progression of real knowledge to spiritual knowledge to fake news to cosmic awareness.

A real event capture in hexameter by a blind Greek poet who made a living by reciting a really long poem, with signature grammatical errors. Some variation in characterization of the real event by later civilizations, if we can call them that. New theories. New truths. All we need is for Slings Williams to reincarnate. Highly likely in my opinion.

Mouse,
Thanks for sharing the saved clipping from Saturday Review.
It's less cropped on all sides, showing things like a sleeping bag left of Madsen, the bookshelf on the right better, and Steve Williams' bare feet.
Plus that caption!

I have authenticated Mr. Williams signature.

His wrist was a little shaken having just been out arm wrestled by Hugh
up here already.

Is this
