On Jefferson we had 50 people on the summit at the time I counted!! Mostly in the clouds, they did give way to a few glimpses of sunshine allowing us to see the flag on Adams. Very windy today. Hikers coming from Edmunds Col reported they could hear our flag way down there snapping in the wind.
Besides the American flag, we were joined by a group carrying a US Marines flags in honor of a son currently in Iraq.
For anyone in the Southern NH area, we were joined by a reporter, his daughter, and a photographer from the Nashua Telegraph. The story should be in the Monday edition.
Thanks to all who were either part of a flag crew, or simply hiked to a peak. Many on the peak expressed thanks to the flag crew today. Most we talked too were hiking today specifically for Flags on the 48.
The rains came in just as we were getting into our cars, sure glad they held off for most of us – to those who had a longer hiked out, we hope you stayed somewhat dry and safe.
Our pole was and extendable/collapsable pole form which we flew a 6×10 flag. Wayne (SkiGuy) provided a great guest book for folks to sign, which included avatars of the flag crew.
It was great to hike with such a great group of friends today it made the day even more special.
God Bless!
