in reply to: Patriots Flags #50078

Richard has offered to loan one of the Patriots flags for our event. If someone is looking for a flag, this could make for a poignant tie-in.

Let me know and I can give you his phone number, or you can e-mail him above.

Mount Eisenhower is most often climbed by the Edmands Path and the Mount Eisenhower Loop [rt: 6.6 miles, 2,750 feet, 4:40] when done alone. The trail is never very steep, and the footing is good. This hike gives excellent views for a very reasonable effort, but remember that the summit is fully exposed to the weather.

Sounds good to me.

I know someone that may be willing to take a last minute peak too. Stephen what are you going to hike if everything is taken?

I’ll hold off until the last minute to see if anything gets dropped. Otherwise I’ll pick something on the “easier” side, since I haven’t had much of a chance to hike this summer.

Should Galehead show up as [EDITED] ?

Yes. For some reason the registrant put their phone number as their name.

He sent them to anyone who hasn’t hiked before, or who he didn’t know.

Okay, so it looks like we’re at 100%. Any thoughts on contacting each signup to confirm they still plan to attend? In the event someone can’t make it but forgot to notify us, we’ll still have time to find an alternate.

SilentCal might have a feel o nthis, since he sent the info packets out. Ant thoughts, Cal?

Also, keep in mind I am making myself available to pick up any last minute cancellations.

I only see 44 peaks taken. Looks like Cabot, Garfield, Tecumseh, and Willey have been inadvertently ommitted…

Fixed.

Looks like it’s time to take the script back to the drawing board…

in reply to: Signups for 2005 #49992

Here’s a thought. It combines a few ideas that have been shared over the past year:

Make signups fully open. Anyone can sign up for anything. one a peak hits a certain number of signups (5 perhaps?) those folks can pick a peak leader who will be responsible for coordinating the effort on that peak (flag, pole, journal, pictures, etc).

Have 5 or 6 people who will coordinate with the peak leaders. Divide the peaks into manageable groups, perhaps geographically. Each coordinator will be responsible for following up with the team leaders to make sure they are going to be there and that the peak will be covered. The coordinators can also be on a team, or can serve as a back-up if a peak in their area loses coverage.

The coordinators will also be responsible for providing any human interest stories that would be interesting to media (ie, scout troops participating, affected family members, etc.)

The coordinators and anyone else interested in helping lay the groundwork for the event will make up the steering team that meets before the event next year.

Here’s a quick diagram:

Updated the Main Page.

Mostly this was a slight tweak to the layout to remove the white space and the floating arrival message.

Thanks for the edits, Greg!

Hi I just asked for West Bond. Last year I hiked Carriagan during the the Flags on the 48 event with my girlfriend. When we got back to the car she was my fiance. so I wanted to participate this year.
Question; Is there a good sized cairn on West Bond in which I could mount the flagpole?

Congratulations.

MichaelJ did West Bond last year. I’m sure he’d love to tell ya all about it!

In the meantime, you can see his pictures here.

Welcome aboard!

in reply to: Problem with signup peaks list #50001

Fixed. Manual edits to the file resulted in a couple line breaks disappearing. They’re back.

Thanks for noticing…
