This being the first Thursday in Daylight Saving Time (DST) 2023, the OSAT-AA Tiger Mountain meeting will resume.  This follows as 33 year tradition of beginning the Thursday meeting on the first Thursday in DST.

This meeting began as a conditioner for folks interested in participating in the "1991 AA Mt. Rainier Expedition".  DST didn't begin until April in 1991, and Jim Hinkhouse's newsletter to potential members of that "expedition" said "Since there is so much interest in the Thursday night conditioning hike, it has been suggested that we turn this into a regular meeting."  

Thus, on April 11, 1991, the first OSAT-AA meeting took place.   At the April 11, 2024 meeting we will be celebrating the 33rd birthday of the meeting.  Since DST now begins a month earlier, the meeting beginning now sometimes suffers lower participation prior to the birthday meeting, so please consider joining your fellow OSATers beginning with this meeting.  

Don't forget to park on the entry road, not in the parking lot, as the gate may be closed when you return! And bring your headlamp; in spite of "springing forward", the sun will set about 15 minutes after the meeting starts.
