Thanks for everyone's support in the past and I hope we can get a nice weather day for this year's event since it actually falls on September 11th.

We were just wondering about Flags 2010 this weekend! You must have read our minds, Silent Cal.

MichaelJ and I have a super busy month this September ,
so won't be leading a peak this year, but hope to tag along with others.

 

[Double Bow]

Just the information I was looking for! Planning to once again sponsor a peak in the name of the AMC NH Young Members Group.

 

[Paradox]

Bump, bump, bump!

 

[SilentCal]

Yes indeed, roughly two weeks away.

The Flags website does not reflect it, but we may be in need for someone for Carter Dome.

I understand there are a lot of corrections that need to be done on the Flags peak list. I apologize that it has not been fixed up.

Nice article/blurb on the flags event on pg 13 of sept/oct "AMC outdoors". Jim Roy quoted. Nice pic of 5 of the original group on Liberty.

Frodo was the organizer, I think?

 

[SilentCal]

Frodo was indeed in the Original group on Mt. Liberty and thus the organizer of the event.

I'll have to pick up the magazine when I'm in Pinkham next week.

If you still need Carter Dome, let us know. I would go with Paradox if I could, but covering the peaks is important.

 

[SilentCal]

We have had two peaks that have had cancellations on them.

Carter Dome and Wildcat D.

We are having communitcations issues on the site and I am unable to contact the "other hikers" listed under those peaks to see if they can ensure that the peaks are covered.

If there is anyone out there that can help, Please PM me, reply here or send an email to : [email protected].

We are keeping an eye on Tropical Storm Gaston as well

Thanks
Silentcal

SilentCal,

I'm willing to lead Carter Dome if you still need coverage.

 

[SilentCal]

Thanks LRiz and Tom but I do have Carter Dome squared away.

We are in need of a taker for Wildcat D. If you take the the AT from the Glen Ellis parking area, I can guarantee you that you'll have one of the best maintained trails in the Whites.

 

[SilentCal]

We've got them both covered. Hopefully no more cancellations.

Have a blast on Saturday. Wish I could be over there...

 

[Paradox]

Looks like we will have some wind on the summits on Saturday.

 

[Paradox]

What an interesting world in which we live. The wind forecast on Saturday is down to 7 mph for the summit of Mt Washington.

Not good, as we need more to keep those flags waving, I think?

There always seems to be quite enough.
Good on all of you heading up Saturday. Bring some treats for the thru-hikers.
