Hi again to Outtabreath –
We finalized our accomodations by taking a small condo near Attitash. “Matthew’s Mom” and Dad will be joining us, and since Matthew himself is 13 months, we need a roof over our heads! Now you can guess where my screen name, “gram,” comes from. If Matthew can accomplish Pierce, he could be quite the hit at the Mooseland. Two others on your team, including the infamous Mad Dog Whitney will be coming up as a daytrip.

We are planning on leaving the trailhead at 8AM sharp, so should have no trouble reaching the summit for the 11:30 AM flag raising.

I have picked up a journal and will make a small sign inviting hikers to sign.

My husband and I are heading up tomorrow and making this our annual fall weekend in the Whites.

Looking forward to meeting the official Team Pierce!

Hello Outtabreath –
Just checking in as the date draws nearer for the 5 of us who are on your team.

You mentioned a 6AM start from the trailhead. I wonder what time you are planning on raising the flag? We would like to be there for the raising, but are thinking more of an 8AM start. We think that will get us there at 11:00 or a little after depending on the weather.

We will have a few digital cameras along, but is there anything else you would like help with? Were you planning on having a journal?

We will be staying the night before on Rte 302 near Attitash – motel reservations not yet made. Those of us staying Sunday night as well hope to drop by the Mooseland after the event.

Looking forward to the day.

Outtabreath-
Most of our group are planning on rain or shine – that said, a white-out might slow us down!

As for 6AM, hmmmm. We were thinking we should be at the top at 11AM to help with the rigging. Did you think we should be earlier?

Where we stay may depend on if there is a Sunday night post-event gathering. Some of us will be making a 3 night weekend, going home on Monday.

Hello Outtabreath,
Myself and a few friends are on your team. We will be staying over the night before, and are planning on an early start. We will have one inexperienced hiker with us, so Crawford Path it is!
As the time draws near, let us know what you need. We have a good “rigger” in our group, and I know we could handle the camera work.
Looking forward to meeting the team.
