I’m surprised you did not go with “Hungry Man” 😆
in reply to: Thank You! #50846I hear all you guys on getting the smoke smell out of your gear. My tarp smells like !@#$%&.
I take none of the credit on picking the campground. I’d like to thank Bobandgeri for the great recomendation on the campground. We could not have asked for a better enviroment to hold this meeting and I seriously suggest that we consider this place for a pre-hike gathering in September. I may even bring my boom-box to hang by the bathroom window to ensure that MichealJ listens to “Uptown Girl” while he showers! 😆
The weather was not so great but niether was last years. But if it’s an omen, our event’s weather will be fantastic.
It was great to meet some of the old Flags gang and meet some new faces as well. While the planning of this event should get easier as the years go on, I would hope that we could continue to do a gathering weekend in Springtime to get new ideas, input from other folks and of course hike! I think we have a ideal place now to gather. Great for tenters, and some close spots for RV’s and a cabin nearby.
Chris, you are slacking, we NEED that Flat panel TV for next year.. 😆
Sonic Boom’s new sidekick’s name? I think that “Ladybug” fits okay! Congrats on your first 4000 footer Becky!
Now I need to get Vickie to post more…. 😆 My god does she put on a spread!
in reply to: Updated History Page ?? #50851Good work! We should have you add a blip every year.. :flag:
in reply to: 2005 Planning Weekend: May 21-22 #50716I’ll bring one of the big tarps just in case…. This is New england remember. Our weathermen have the art of screwing up the forecast down to a science… Be there around 6.
in reply to: 2005 Planning Weekend: May 21-22 #50712I’ve having computer issues now so If you’ve PM’ed me in the last couple days, my apologies. Weather looks good guys! I hope it lasts! TeamPlatypus great to have you aboard! More information will be posted next week if I ever get my PC back 🙁 . Keep checking back with us for updates.
in reply to: Flags Weekend F.A.Q #50775I’ve got some good size tarps that I’m bringing along. They came in handy at least years event, however a midget like myself should not be the one setting them up unless you all care to walk on your knees. It rained at last years planning event and look at how awesome the weather was for the Flags event. I think it’s a good karma.
in reply to: Flags Weekend F.A.Q #50772Hey now, English is a second language for me, Cut me some slack eh! 🙄
in reply to: Flags Weekend F.A.Q #50770All confirmed with the campground. I will be arriving around 6:00 P.M. For those of you that arrive eariler than that,
When you check in, mention to the desk that you are with the The Flags on the 48 group. The sites are registered under my name (Jim Roy). When I get there, we’ll sort out who owns what. It’s $9 a head per night and hopefully the rain doesn’t spoil the weekend. The lady at the campground told me that the evening temps have been in the upper thirties and fourties lately. Don’t forget to bring your warm sleeping gear. I’m looking forward to meeting you all!
in reply to: Planning Meeting Question (Newbee) #50743MichealJ has some excellent choices. I believe a Boy scout troop from Dracut stayed at Osceola Vista Campground last year while doing both the Tripyramids for the Flags event. Osceola Vista would be a good basecamp to try and do Mt. Osceola from the Mt. Osceola trailhead on Tripoli Road. Also good from this basecamp is Mt. Tecumseh from the Waterville Valley parking lot trailhead. Both these routes are not too strenous and while Tecumseh is a shorter route, Osceola has better views.
You might also want to consider Mt. Hale from the Hale Brook Trailhead. Nearby basecamps for this peak could be had at nearby Sugarloaf Campground. I’m from Mass but at the other end of the state. I will be posting a grand overview of the meeting after it is over on the website to keep everyone up to speed. Any questions, don’t hesitate to ask. Thanks for your interest :flag:in reply to: Flags Weekend F.A.Q #50762Is that wayside area the one with a view of Mt. Cleveland? Isn’t it about a mile of so before the trailhead. What time should we aim to start the Garfield hike if the weather is good. Does 9:00 sound reasonable? Cannonballs if there are no views sounds good to me. Any ideas for start times at Welch-dickey? Someone may be meeting us there.
in reply to: Flags Weekend F.A.Q #50760I don’t mind how much anyone brings, as long as everyone behaves. I know we’ll be hiking on the 21st Jaytrek57. Hope you can make it in time. What time I’m not sure but We’ll figure out a meeting place. Any ideas?
in reply to: Flags Weekend F.A.Q #50755Darn, thanks Magic for posting the directions. I had it on my index card for things to remember to write but still forgot. I’ll be at the Campground around 6pm if all goes well. I need a remtach at chess too Magic!
in reply to: 2005 Planning Weekend: May 21-22 #50707I’m going to get a firm count of everyone going to the event and then let the campground know how many people to expect in the group. I’ll get back to everyone if we need to individually get in touch with the campground.
in reply to: 2005 Planning Weekend: May 21-22 #50702By add one I meant add Vickie to my person count of 1 to make it 2. Those slabs on Garfield are a real nice hangout spot on a nice day. I wasn’t going to hike on Sunday but Welch and Dickey is one I need to redline so you don’t need to twist my arm too much 😆
in reply to: 2005 Planning Weekend: May 21-22 #50700add one more to my total. Vicki from last year’s meeting will be staying for the weekend as well. Welch and Dickey. Is that the plan for Sunday?
How about Garfield on Saturday? An easy 10 miler with not too much steep sections. Does’t really matter though, I’ll hike wherever. -
