We’ll be hitting the 19 Mile Brook Trail around 8 a.m. on Saturday and heading up to Wildcat A from the hut. Our plan is to then head back down the way we came _ and are likely to head over to the Wildcat Ski Area to pick up some hikers who plan to hit the entire ridge then head down the ski trail. :flag:
in reply to: 2006 press release by 8/25 #52818Duly noted and reporting for duty. No worries. I’ll get this baby in the right hands!
in reply to: Officially "Unofficial" Post Trip Libations #51343I like the idea of the Red Parka as well. Might be a nice change of scenery!
in reply to: Officially "Unofficial" Post Trip Libations #51341I’ll probably be at the Mooseland afterward as well. I’m tentatively thinking of staying at Crag or Gray Knob the night before, which would leave me unable to attend pre-event festivities.
in reply to: Status: Day 2 #51068Folks: FYI, I’m tentatively planning on doing a prezzie traverse this day, but I will definitely bag plans to adopt one of the two so-far unclaimed peaks (looks like South Carter and North Kinsman) if it remains so in the days leading up to 9/11.
So far, an impressive lineup! :flag:
in reply to: Proposed press release #50890TrekMan,
How does this sound:
“It was first an informal and spontaneous memorial on the first Saturday after the attacks. A group of six hikers moved by the horrific and lasting toll of the attacks hoisted a large American flag atop Mt. Liberty that day.”
in reply to: Proposed press release #50886SilentCal — Okey doke. Since we won’t be sending out the releases until early/mid-July, let’s be sure to revisit that section of the press release. My thought is that if there is an “official” gathering spot the night before, it would give any interested media a chance to grab folks before the hike for interviews.
We reporter-types tend to be lazy folks and may not want to cart ourselves up the peaks themselves to do any interviews. And since it’s on a Sunday this year, there won’t necessarily be a huge gathering the night of the event.
in reply to: Mini Meeting of Sorts? #50879I’d be game for this! It’d be a great excuse to wear my hiking gear to work, then head south to the Blue Hills! 😆
in reply to: Proposed press release #50884Thanks, Dirt Girl! As for stamp lickin’ etc. … I’ll plan to fax it out to the news outlets, so no need to use up your saliva on that thankless task! 😆
Stephen: Thanks for agreeing to act as the contact person. I’ll add that to the release. :flag:
in reply to: Grandfathered Peaks #50871I second/third/whatever the idea of grandfathering. At the risk of parrot-ing others, if someone has shown that much dedication or draw to a peak to hit it each of the past three years, I’d like to give them the first dibs on continuing to act as coordinator for that peak. :flag:
in reply to: Sunday, September 11, 2005 #50612I’m game for a Sunday hike.
in reply to: Flags Weekend F.A.Q #50769Silent Cal, et al:
Depending on how early I can scadaddle on Friday, I’ll head up to the campground either Friday — or see everyone there Saturday afternoon/evening.
My itinerary:
SATURDAY: planning to do trail work on my trail (AirLine).
SUNDAY: Would love to get in on the Welch Dickey hike!Will bring firewood and brewskis!

in reply to: Hiking events #50734For anyone interested … my tentative plan is to head up Saturday and do some trail work on my trail (Air Line in the Northern Prezzies). Sunday, I’d love to hike Welch-Dickey. Time in between will be spent gabbin’, eatin’, drinkin’ and sleepin’ :beer:
in reply to: Hiking events #50732The Cannon Balls are … hmmm, interesting. As (bad???) luck would have it, I climbed them totally by accident. I was thinking I was on the Fishin’ Jimmy Trail, and ended up hiking the Cannon Balls instead. Guess I needed to work on those map and compass skills! 😆
in reply to: 2005 Planning Weekend: May 21-22 #50706Just checking — do we need to make reservations at the campground individually, or is someone handling it for the whole group.
Thanks!
