Flags on the 48 - Mt. Bond

[Artex]

It's been a busy week, so my trip report isn't as detailed as I'd like it to be, but I also didn't want to wait any longer in posting it or the pictures.

They're up on my personal website. Click here for a direct link

Nice report and great pictures. If I didn't have to be at home in CT with my son I would have finished the Bonds and my 48 on that day instead of on Sept.13th. How cool would that have been?

Wow, that's quite a hike...and some great pictures! Did you have any company up there? We totally missed the A-10 on Kinsman, I guess it never headed our way.

Busy this week? You must be a teacher

Dugan and I were just below the summits on the Welch/Dickey loop at about noon when a North-bound A-10 (possibly the same one) went by just a few hundred feet above the trees. We could only see him for a couple of seconds, but it appeared he was doing a roll.

It may not help the "wilderness" experience any, but I enjoy seeing jets in action up close.

Homer - that would have indeed been cool!

Jessup - It would have been nice to have permanent company on my peak, but I settled for the few hikers that were passing through. Still, the solitude was nice. And yep, busy teaching.. and coaching cross country.. and getting ready for my next grad school class... not that I'm complaining, I'm loving every minute of it!

The pics always look very clear, what kind of camera do you use? How many megapixels does it have?

 

[sapblatt]

Awesome

Great report and pics. The third pic down of Bondcliff is one of the best I have ever seen!

 

[WhiteMTHike]

Fantastic pics! It's really great seeing the flags on these summits. Thanks!

 

[Artex]

Thanks guys! The camera is just an old 2.0 megapixel Fuji Finepix. For whatever reason, the pictures always come out great. It's definitely not because of me, I just frame, point and click. I guess Fujis are just great cameras?

Brownie, I'll definetly upload my pics on the site soon, probably tonight.

Hancock!

Great report and pics. The third pic down of Bondcliff is one of the best I have ever seen!

Nice Pictures, yes! FWIW, the spectacular part of that picture is not just Bondcliff but also Hancock in the Background. You get a real sense of how huge it really is. I have added a doctor-up of Artex's picture down below.

No, all the thunder and lightning outside woke me up at my desk...
