Anyway, I do not know the regulations governing sleep ing overnight on top of Mt.

Helena. The requirements for this trip are of the simplest nature. One needs only a light sleeping bag, him-her selves, and a companion, either sex is preferable. A thermos of hot cocoa or other refreshment is nice, but optional. There is no special time that one must leave, as on any clear night the mountain is quite visable, and one would have to be pretty loose to lose their way.

Just one word of caution: do not start any camp fires, as they are strictly prohib ited. (One careless camper this summer got charged $4,500 for starting a forest fire.) This trip is designed with every person in mind, from Joe Mountain-Jock to Patty-Petite. The only danger one would encounter on top of this mountain would be maybe getting a bit wet in a nocternal shower or being kidnapped by aliens from Venus. If it rains, you get wet.
