We did Passaconaway last year and have Wildcat D this year. You are our 48 Flags neighbors! We will be on D until 5pm if any of your group want to venture across and need a ride back to that trailhead. My cell is 518-844-5116 and email danielleamber81@gmail.com if anyone wants to make arrangements.
in reply to: Passaconaway #63032Brian, thanks for letting me know. If you can, please remove yourself from the hike list so others can sign up.
in reply to: Passaconaway #63021Brian, we are planning to go out over Whiteface so it will be a longish day since we won’t be packing up the flags until 2. How are you with hiking alone? You could always start after us and catch up or just join on top, hang out for a bit, and then head out when you need to. That way you aren’t stuck with our times, since the other three of us signed up are all camping locally after. If you would like to do that, please come late and join us! I am sure we will be taking forever to set up once up there and then we will just hang out so you would still have a good time I think. You can let me know closer to the date, if you want. Maybe let me know by the Wednesday before.
in reply to: Passaconaway #63018Brian,
We are not planning any breaks since it is only 4 miles to the top. The flag poles will probably slow us down so it will be a leisurely pace. The plan is to split the poles between everyone so that the weight is not all on one person. I can weigh them and give you the weight of that (it is about 20-25 pounds total for all of them). We also will be moving the start time to earlier, 5am meet with 5:30am start time. This is because of the slower pace. I am not able to change my original post to reflect those times. We are going to set up the big pole and flag at the lookout and a smaller flag on the actual summit. If we get up there earlier than planned, we will be hanging around for the 12-2 fly over so I would bring warm layers in case it is cold and maybe something to sit on unless you are fine sitting on the ground. We most likely will be up there 4-5 hours (setting up/idle time).
