Hi,

I ceded the Liberty summit and the McDonnells say they’re going. We’ve retooled this into a family hike without the troop, so we’ll be on Liberty Spring Trail bright and early with a flag, and hope to share the peak and experience with other hikers.

Thanks again for your patience.

Due to lack of group space at Lafayette campground (apparently one site that must be reserved in the spring), Troop 37 won’t be able to hike and place a flag on Liberty. We’re very sorry. We hope to know the ropes of how to pull this off better next year. If anyone wants to take our place, please do. If I can un-signup on the signup page, I’ll do that too. Again we all regret the late cancellation, I hope you have some patience with the well-intentioned bumblers. Thank you for organizing such a substantial and one-of-a-kind event!

Greg Root, Troop 37

Your signup worked flawlessly, thanks! I meant to list Troop 37 as additional hikers, but I guess it’s clear enough in the peaks list. We’re very excited to participate in this event that evokes many different emotions. I think the other scouts will have the same feelings of pride as my son and I did when we first saw the flags on the peaks last year. This is a rememberance that doesn’t require lots of words or explanations about how we feel, so that probably will be just the right speed for a bunch of adolescents. Thanks again,

Hi,

I’m Greg from Troop 37 in Worcester, MA, a 1989 A.T. thru-hiker, and have climbed about a third of the 48 peaks. My wife, also a thru-hiker has climbed them all. Well, we’re trying to get a new generation into hiking the Whites. My son and I were inspired by a boy scout troop who placed a flag on Zealand last year as we were enjoying lunch. We will be signing up for a peak this year and will probably bring about 10 scouts to do the hike. Thanks for holding such a meaningful event! These notes give some helpful background and I think your system of signing up for the peaks is very fair and straightforward. Looking forward to September.

Greg
