      I agree that the event should take place on the actual anniversary whenever possible.

        This will be my first time participating…that is if I make it in a group. : )

        I was originally thinking Lincoln because that is one of my favorite mountains. But if people are going to overnight camp..Owls Head. I am game for that.

        I only made it 1/2 way up Owls Head because a sudden thunder/lightening storm came along and caused a flash flood. The only good thing about it was that it washed away all the snakes. I’m not afraid of snakes, but I never saw so many sunning themselves at once in my life! It was creepy and very surreal!

        We didn’t see anyone for 2 days out there, not until we hit Galehead. The trail was just one big river. Once the weather cleared and we started up Twinway, I was bowled over by the UNBELIEVABLE BEAUTY. We did 10 4000+ on that hike and it has always been my favorite. Long story short, helping to bring a flag to the top of Owls Head would be an honor.

        I don’t want to be the leader, but will help in any way.

          Welcome Flyingfree!

          Signups will be on July 11th. Please feel free to sign on with any peak. This is a great way to meet other like-minded hikers. Owl’s Head is usually one of the last to go but maybe not this year.
          Thanks for your interest and be sure to sign-up for support if you can.

            I’m in (again). Very happy to have Adams. I’m hoping to carry a flag from the Ladies Emblem Club #32 from Everett, MA. The American Flag is their totem and my wife is heavily involved in their charity work.
