      We’ll be hitting the 19 Mile Brook Trail around 8 a.m. on Saturday and heading up to Wildcat A from the hut. Our plan is to then head back down the way we came _ and are likely to head over to the Wildcat Ski Area to pick up some hikers who plan to hit the entire ridge then head down the ski trail. :flag:

        Duly noted and reporting for duty. No worries. I’ll get this baby in the right hands!

          I like the idea of the Red Parka as well. Might be a nice change of scenery!

            I’ll probably be at the Mooseland afterward as well. I’m tentatively thinking of staying at Crag or Gray Knob the night before, which would leave me unable to attend pre-event festivities.

              Folks: FYI, I’m tentatively planning on doing a prezzie traverse this day, but I will definitely bag plans to adopt one of the two so-far unclaimed peaks (looks like South Carter and North Kinsman) if it remains so in the days leading up to 9/11.

              So far, an impressive lineup! :flag:

                TrekMan,

                How does this sound:

                “It was first an informal and spontaneous memorial on the first Saturday after the attacks. A group of six hikers moved by the horrific and lasting toll of the attacks hoisted a large American flag atop Mt. Liberty that day.”

                  SilentCal — Okey doke. Since we won’t be sending out the releases until early/mid-July, let’s be sure to revisit that section of the press release. My thought is that if there is an “official” gathering spot the night before, it would give any interested media a chance to grab folks before the hike for interviews.

                  We reporter-types tend to be lazy folks and may not want to cart ourselves up the peaks themselves to do any interviews. And since it’s on a Sunday this year, there won’t necessarily be a huge gathering the night of the event.

                    I’d be game for this! It’d be a great excuse to wear my hiking gear to work, then head south to the Blue Hills! 😆

                      Thanks, Dirt Girl! As for stamp lickin’ etc. … I’ll plan to fax it out to the news outlets, so no need to use up your saliva on that thankless task! 😆

                      Stephen: Thanks for agreeing to act as the contact person. I’ll add that to the release. :flag:

                        I second/third/whatever the idea of grandfathering. At the risk of parrot-ing others, if someone has shown that much dedication or draw to a peak to hit it each of the past three years, I’d like to give them the first dibs on continuing to act as coordinator for that peak. :flag:

                          I’m game for a Sunday hike.

                            Silent Cal, et al:

                            Depending on how early I can scadaddle on Friday, I’ll head up to the campground either Friday — or see everyone there Saturday afternoon/evening.

                            My itinerary:

                            SATURDAY: planning to do trail work on my trail (AirLine).
                            SUNDAY: Would love to get in on the Welch Dickey hike!

                            Will bring firewood and brewskis!

                              For anyone interested … my tentative plan is to head up Saturday and do some trail work on my trail (Air Line in the Northern Prezzies). Sunday, I’d love to hike Welch-Dickey. Time in between will be spent gabbin’, eatin’, drinkin’ and sleepin’ :beer:

                                The Cannon Balls are … hmmm, interesting. As (bad???) luck would have it, I climbed them totally by accident. I was thinking I was on the Fishin’ Jimmy Trail, and ended up hiking the Cannon Balls instead. Guess I needed to work on those map and compass skills! 😆

                                  Just checking — do we need to make reservations at the campground individually, or is someone handling it for the whole group.

                                  Thanks!
