Heh heh, I have been waiting for mine for about 2 years now. So I would say chances are pretty slim. 😉 I hear Jay might have something that would be a nice replacement in the works, but I won’t be letting that cat out of the bag. :flag:
You can use just about anything…as Jim mentioned PVC gets used a lot. If you want to make it bomb proof run 3 sets of lines at 130 degree angles around the pole. If each set contains a line at both the middle and the top of the pole you should be golden. To get an idea of what I am taling about go to the 2006 album and click on the Garfield photos to give you an idea. If you have supporting ropes at the top as well as the middle then you will get all your stress on the rope and not the pole itself.
When signups open we reserve Cannon, Washington and Wildcat D for those who do not hike or are unable to physically climb the peak but wish to participate in this event (because all three have means of getting to the summit other than under human power.) We should be able to grant your request, but either way she would be welome on the top no matter who was the peak coordinator.
Brian actually had a great idea that we talked about on our last hike. Mt. Liberty should get a good sized flag up for the whole weekend. From Saturday morning until Monday Morning.
Keep in mind that it’s improper flag etiquette to have it flying in the dark unless it is lit. We’d need to take it down each night and re-fly each morning.
Oh yes, we are well aware, which is why Jim and I agree there is but one merry band of friends crazy enough to haul all the lighting gear required. Can you say….FOOL SCOUTS!!!! 😀
Excellent! I am still a bit surprised by Lafayette….you figured someone would have been able to confirm by now. Waumbek and P-conaway not too surprising though.
I have to beg for everyone’s patience right now. Chris has had a personal issue that understandably has taken his focus off of running the website right now. I promise things will eventually get straightened out, but we will need some time.
