Thought I posted a reply to this last night????? Geesh – maybe I dreamt it :>

For Twin Mountain area I think that the Mooseland Grill would be the best place to handle a bunch of hikers fresh off the mountains. For the North conway area, probably the Scarecrow Pub.

Since Twin Mountain is only 10 minutes from Mt Jackson which we are signed up up, we’d prefer that area, but I think it woudl be best to narrow it down to 2 or 3 locations, then everyone should be polled to see who (and how many they are) would partcipate and what location orks best.

Looking forward to the 13th! Geri and I are hiking Isolation this weekend – it will be number 46 for us! Saving the longest two for October and the Fall colors.

in reply to: Summit Handouts? #48894

Lat year we printed up some pages to hand out and placed them at the base of the flag – like the idea of laminating a few for people to read -w ill do that this year – thanks!

You must be thinking of the Mooseland Gril which is just South of the intersection of Routes 3 and 302. Also – just down the road across from Bretton Woods is Fabyan’s Station Restaurant and Lounge. We’d be up for a post event gathering in either the Twin Mountain area or Bartlett/Jackson area. Some suggestions for that area are:

Shannon Door Pub
Scarecrow Pub
Red Fox Pub & Restaurant
Red Parka Steakhouse & Pub

Last year we carried a 6 x 8 flag up to Mount Carrigan – for the pole we both a 12 foot length of 1 1/2 inch PVS and cut it onto 3rds to make it easy to carry – bought 2 F/F couplers and glued them two one end of two of the sections – then drilled holes for carriage bolts to hold the sections together and act as points for guy wires – also added a eye bolt at the top for guy wires. Was very easy to carry, and put together. Pics are in the image gallery.

We joined Bob (AKA MaineGuy) on Mount Carrigain for what turned out to be a wonderfull day! Thanks to Rick who managed to obtain the use of a 6′ x 10′ flag we were able to greatly impress many of the 3 dozen or so hikers who visted the summit.

It was a pleasure to meet in person some of the hikers we have seen posting in this and other hiking forums. This was our 37th peak, but most impressive is young eight year old Cody for whom it was his 9th peak – and he just started hiking this year!

We have posted some pics of the flag and folks on the summit to share with all of you. We have a link on our Home Page (http://home.tiac.net/~rbhayes/) or you can go directly to them at

Hope to meet many more of you on the trails! God Bless!

How about a few of the aluminum antenna mast that radio shack sells – very light – easy to put together – a base and some guy wires and you can fly it as high as you want! If you have a few people in your group it would be easy to split the gear up.
