Hi All,
Quick correction to my email notes – I stated “Davis Path” it actually Edmunds Path. (all other references are correct).
We’re still planning on meeting at McDonalds (Lincoln) at 6:45, or “Edmunds Path” trailhead at 7:50.(Thanks Hiker Girl)

Prepare for rain; pray for sunshine! “The people we are honoring did not get to choose the outcome of their day” (J.Roy).
Looks like there is some rain in the forecast for our hike, please plan accordingly – we’re done this before (2016, Pierce, Chronicle)
The safety of all hikers is the utmost importance. If you do not feel comfortable with the conditions please make the right decision.A few notes;
I’ve confirmed the Clinton Road gate is open, so there will be no problem getting to the trailhead.
There are a number of single hikers meeting us at McDonalds in Lincoln – please extend carpool invitations.
We’re still planning on meeting at McDonalds (Lincoln) at 6:45, or Davis Path trailhead at 7:50.
– Never ForgetI’m looking forward to another FOT48 memorial hike with family, good friends and new hikers. This will be another great event.
(Detail information is below or on the FOT48 website (above)).Kind regards,
Dave

Thanks for your kind words. It’s been our privilege to be part of this group, and honoring our 9/11 heroes. Yes, a beer together would be cool.
Thanks for all you do.
in reply to: Eisenhower #64040Hi Rob,
Good to hear from you. I’ll be checking out the road closure this weekend and will provide updates (Hopefully it’s open). Thanks for the offer to carpool – we got hikers car pooling from Nashua and Lincoln so I believe we’re all set.
We look forward to meeting and hiking with you on the 14th.
Happy trails…
Dave

It looks like a great day for our Flags on the 48 memorial hike to Middle Tripyramid. No rain, cool temps.
No change in plans – We’ll be meeting at McDonalds in Lincoln at 6:45. We should be at the Sabbaday Brook trailhead at 7:30 and starting our hike around 8:00.
Happy Hiking
in reply to: Information Regarding Sign Ups #55863Hi Chris,
If you already have an account on FOT48 do have to resign up for this new format?
in reply to: Mount Pierce #55747Hi Folk,
Last update for the Flags on the 48 hike to Mount Pierce. Weather looks good, with a chance of showers or thunder storms in the morning. Plan on packing some rain gear. Could be a little windy at the top.
Also, Sean McDonald from WMUR TV News out of Manchester NH call me and asked if he could tag along on our hike. It appears that he will be doing a feature report on our 9/11 Memorial Hike and has chosen Mount Pierce. He might have a camera crew with him so wear your best hiking outfit :flag:
See you all on Sunday. Any question please call on send a note.

dacormier8789@gmail.comin reply to: Kinsman, South #55472Just an update:
As in the past, our plan is to meet 7AM Saturday morning at the McDonald’s parking lot in Lincoln and drive to the trail head together. Keep in mind we need to start our hike from the trail-head at 8:00 AM to get to the summit by noon – please plan accordingly.
I’ll have the Flag and flag pole all already to go. :flag:
The hike up is 4.8 miles with an elevation gain of about 3,300 feet and it will take us approximately 4 hours to reach the south summit. Please be prepared for a number of small brook crossings along the way. Also, keep in mind that the hike up and down plus 2 hours flying the flag will take us approximately 10 hours – we should get back to the tail head around 6 PM. Please plan accordingly.
If you are going directly to the Mt. Kinsman trail head – hear are the directions.
– Exit 32 off 93, Right at bottom of ramp onto Rt. 112
– Rt. 112 west 11.6 miles to Rt. 116
– Right onto Rt. 116
– 6.5 miles to trailhead on your right – not well mark – large orange bow on stump near entrance. If you see Tamarack Tennis Club you’ve gone 100 yards to far.Please remember to pack warm clothes for the summit, water, snacks and lunch. Also a camera! Any questions please send me an e-mail or give me a call. Any questions send me a note
