You are probably thinking of Mt. Lukens (instead of Gleason) - which 
I think we went to twice in the later years.  That was where my 
Triumph Spitfire lost its muffler on the way up and Marty came 
up later asking if this was anyone's muffler.  Lots of repeaters up 
there.  It is also the one Thad "buzzed" once with 44Lima.

I know I have some pictures somewhere of one of the CP field days.
I'll start digging.

PS: Does anyone know if the old A frame building is still there?
