The trip to Las Campanas during the big snowstorm of 1997 August

Abstract

I had to make many repairs to the electronics, the damage looks like it was caused by a lightning strike. Work was hampered at first by high winds, and then by heavy snowfall. A small group of people were trapped on the mountain: The roads were out, the phone lines down, the electricity supply cut, and the Internet connection was not working. But through it all, not one single volcano erupted.
