Jungle telegraph just reported that peak nr 575 was just summited on Moriah today......so just one to go!

Hancock Campground seems to be where most will overnight before and after.

Lots of Shake and Bake today!

Congrats MEB!!! Great to be able to join you today.

Will the final summit really hold all of VFTT at once? :>

I posted a few of the photos on Facebook - the following URL should allow everyone to view them.

Yikes MEB, I don't envy you writing the trip report up for this journey!

'Lets see, back in 1989 I did Hale...'

I had to do some research on this one and I found what I was looking for.

It was on November 16, 2003 that Duffy and I ran into you and Little Sis on the col between Star King and Waumbec. That was the first time we ever met and you told me latter that that was just about your first NH 4000 footer.

So since November 2003 you've done the 576 NH peaks (plus all the others you've done). That's an impressive amount of hiking and a lot of miles. Congratulations.

I think we last ran into each other on the top of Adams about a year ago when Lauky finished his NH 4000. Hope to see you again soon out there.

Congratulations on the fantastic accomplishment.

Here is a photo of MEB the first time we met on Februray 19, 2005 on Mt Willey. She sure has come a long way.

Finishing the grid ?????

How long I've been away for christ sake ?

I'll be in NH that weekend, I'll send a congrats up in the air

 

[adktyler]

Hey Meb, what a great accomplishment. This is quite the commitment, and I congratulate you in advance on you finish!!

 

[hikes-with-him]

WOW!!!

That truly is something.

I think this is where I'd say "I'm not worthy" while groveling on the ground

 

[SherpaKroto]

Wow! When did she ever have time to dance? (BTW, notice she even has her boots on there. Can never be prepared enough, eh?)

Congrats MEB - you can chase me across the Baldfaces anytime

 

[una_dogger]

Early Congratulations, MEB!

MEB,

I am glad that you did not discontinue hiking forever, after I inadvertently scared you and Rachel out of your wits in the scrub on Abraham.

Congrats in advance. That is truly amazing

Marty

Congratulations in advance! What an incredible accomplishment!!!

I have a prior pie-baking commitment and unfortunately won't be able to join you on this final peak, but I remember the first time we met, back in 2004 on Osceola when you and Rachel were trying to get Reuben to join in on your self-portrait:

 

[Woody]

MEB - That is an awesome accomplishment! I wish I could join you for the hike. Instead I'll be playing in the Molson Old Timer's Hockey Tournament. You can be there will be plenty of beer at both events!!

 

[Bob]

I have a prior pie-baking commitment and unfortunately won't be able to join you on this final peak,

How come you only bake pies for that 'other forum'?
What about us here?

What about us here?

It's not so much the 'other forum'... It's a Fool Scout thing.

Stop by the other side of the notch after. You'll see plenty of folk from here.

We just can't afford to give up a top-notch baker AND event photographer.

Best wishes to MEB for an enjoyable grid finish - would have liked to be there myself.
