Glad to hear everyone had a good time. I wished those jets had done a fly-by on Moosilauke. We couldn't see any flags from there but knew they were all flying proudly. Great job!

Glad to have you guys take part. Hope to see you again next year!

I met the same ranger Saturday morning that you met DMS. I was helping some of the Zealand Flagbearers up the Wilderness Trail when we ran into him and he asked about the PVC that everyone was carting up. I mentioned Flags and he said he was going to be on Owl's Head the next day to observe...

Not a corny idea at all! This event was founded because of a national tragedy and the focus of people coming together to help those who need it and honor those that have fallen because of it. Katrina is no different a crisis. I have a laminated cover sheet that I attach to my flagpole. I'm...

Hiking Moosilauke, Staying at Mt. Liberty Cabins in Lincoln, will head to the Mooseland afterwards to enjoy some good times. Whoever bribed Mother Nature again for good weather, I want to know your secret! Good Luck to and Happy Trails to all hiking in this event.

First off, Glad to hear that everything is well with your family. As MtnMagic said both peaks are dog-friendly. Tmax has stated on the Flags site that he is ascending via the Pine Link Trail. About 3.8 miles one way with 4150 feet of elevation gain. My group is taking the Gorge Brook...

The Link from Caps Ridge to Castle Ravine. It has my vote for the most overgrown, root infested, ankle turning trail I've been on. After a long day, taking this trail back to the Caps Ridge trail was extremely tiring. Bunnell Notch trail was very sloppy when I took it but seeing a moose...

Dogs are certainly welcome. I know of a dog that has done the event several times now. As for which groups to join, I am unsure on that. If you know someone on the peaks list, drop them an e-mail and ask to join them. We do have two peaks still available in South Carter and Washington...

Tom, on the outlook on North Twin, there are lots of loose rock lying about to help support a base. Check out last year's North Twin summit photos in the Flags gallery. Jessbee, I sent your a pm through the Flags website that should help you out. BobandGeri, Thanks for helping out, I...

The Flags site has been updated, We need some help on Washington, Owl's Head and South Carter. If anyone is interested, please either sign up or drop me a PM. If you signed up to help on one peak and would like to transfer to one of these, please contact me as well. Thanks

The Flags on the 48 event is looking for someone to sign up for Mt. Washington. Wildcat D and Cannon Mt. do have persons signed up for them but it does not reflect that on the website. Persons may hike or ride up the Auto Road in order to participate. Flags will fly September 11th from...

Congrats Hikerbob!!! Nice to see another Western Mass resident make it! Looks like you had an awesome weather day!

Very nice to have met everyone at the summit. It's nice to put names and faces together. We could not have asked for nicer day. Let's hope the Flags day is the same. Congrats to Tagalong and Sonic Boom for their 48th!!!

MtnMagic and I will catch up with you from the summit. We'll be ascending via Lowe's Path. Weather promises a spendid day!

My boss is pretty cool with time off as long as I give him notice ahead of time. What kills me is a co-worker who keeps tabs of everyone's days off and when someone leaves early. He's always reminding the higher ups of the time off everyone takes and how he has to endure the extra workload...

a Homer Simpson Woo Hoo!!!!! Awesome job!

The Snooze button IS a gift from the gods by the way! Great Report. I wish I would have known we had a Western Mass contigent heading up there. I hated Owl's Head when I first did it but am dying to get back there now. Did you happen to check out the spire at the southern end of the Owl's...

We may have some openings for mountains as of August 11th. Cannon Washington and Wildcat D will become open to all hikers on this date. We put a reserved status on those peaks in the hopes of getting a non-hiker group to be able to participate. Some folks have inquired about them and we may...

We are down to our last regular peak, South Carter! Thanks to everyone who has signed up so far. I hope Mother Nature gives us a 5 star day with a light breeze to get those flag unfurled and flying proud!

Amadeus comes through again! He manned South Carter for us last year. Very cool to have repeat flagbearers. I can't for the life of me understand why North Kinsman is still there. Those ledges allow for some great views and with some good binoculars you may be able pick out some flags on...
