        We might as well bring each set up and just decide at the trailhead. You guys have done it almost every year so I am interested to learn the best way.

          Nif and Silent Cal,

          This is the first ive heard from you guys. I went through creating a lodge pole flag pole and have an American flag that has been flying at cape Elizabeth coast guard station.

          Questions for you:
          1-You all have done this before and this is my first time. Are the supplies you are bringing a set that you have used before and would mean a lot to you to use again?? because I don’t want to step on any toes if you have been part of this tradition longer than I.

          2-Would you rather use what I built? If not I understand, I just didn’t know anyone else was planning on bringing stuff until today 2 days before the 11th.

          3-it looks like its going to be VERY windy up top. The pole I created is a 14 foot green maple 2.5 inches in diameter and should be very strong in the wind, however its never been tested. Does your set up work in high winds?

          Sorry for all the questions, I just want to be sensitive to what everyone in the group wants to do and I didn’t know about these other plans until now.

          Please let me know. I look forward to meeting you all and being a part of this on Sunday.

          Best,

          Craig Hanson

            Sounds like most everyone is on board. We will be flying an American flag flown by the coast guard. If everyone could please meet at the above mentioned trailhead at 7:30 we can group up and hike up. If anyone doesn’t make it in time please feel free to follow up the planned route and catch us or join us at the summit.

            I have constructed a wooden flag pole that we will carry up. People can take turns if they wish. Then we can cut it into smaller pieces when we are done for easy descent.

            feel free to contact me at craighanson86@gmail.com with any questions.

              Sherpa Tom,

              Thank you for posting this idea. I am interested to see the powerpoint. Can you email it to me at craighanson86@gmail.com ? Are you joining us on Moosilauke this year?

              In addition, just hoping everyone else from the group can just drop a line on the forum that they saw the plan for meeting at the trailhead time and place. Also, it has come to my attention that the Ravine Lodge will be closed for construction starting this week so keep in mind that it will not be open for use (bathrooms, snacks, etc.) so plan ahead. The trailhead will still be open.

              Thanks,

              Craig

                Just to be clear unless there is a better alternative, the pole I will cut from a sapling will be from home and I will bring it on my roof rack of my truck. I will of course not be cutting it from the WMNF. Just wanted to clear that up! Cheers!
