Pyramid Point Hiking Trail. This hike is a week "later" than normal because of the Club outing at Ranch Rudolph on May 10.
The Sleeping Bear National Shoreline is truly one of the jewels of our area and the Pyramid Point area is particularly interesting. The trail loop is 2.7 miles long and takes you through three distinct environments: open meadow, beech-maple forest and high bluffs overlooking Lake Michigan. The trail does have several steep hills, but the view from the top will prove worth the effort. A post-hike lunch in Glen Arbor for those interested will be an option. Take M-22 between Leland and Glen Arbor and turn north on Port Oneida Road. Follow the signs to the parking area at the trailhead. On the way, please note the old homesteads preserved as part of the Shoreline. Contact Marlowe Bonner at 231-932-0943 or mbmarbon@aol.com if you plan to attend.

Skunk Works: A Personal Memoir of My Years of Lockheed , by Ben R. Rich. Jim Brown will moderate this discussion.
Ben R. Rich joined the legendary 'Skunk Works' as a young engineer, worked on some of the most secretive military projects in recent history, and later ended up taking over management of Skunk Works. As a result, perhaps no one else in the world has as much first hand knowledge of these projects, and no one else is better positioned to chronicle some of America 's military crown jewels. Rich (and Janos) have crafted a unique book that gives Ben Rich story, with interesting first hand accounts from pilots, air force personnel, and highly placed government officials. Rich covers the struggles encountered while building various classified aircraft: the U2, SR-71 Blackbird, the stealth fighter, the stealth boat, among others. He also lightly delves into the darker side of the defense industry: politics, waste, and bureaucracy.
