I would like a copy of the mission copy that you are bringing up on Sunday. Could you make an extra copy for me (or tell me where to locate a copy of it myself)?
The USPS wants to publicize our hike in its magazine. I am bringing a digital camera Sunday just for that purpose. Would you mind taking a pic of our cru? Can’t wait – the weather is going to be gorgeous!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!:)

okay – just let me know if you decide to go up the Kangamangus. I know our group is better off going up from Tripoli Road. I will bring the Flag and see you on Sunday.

I let everyone know that you are looking for ideas about the flag pole but haven’t gotten any feedback. Plan on bringing the tent poles since I too will not have time this week to come up a bigger, better solution. 🙂 I will ask our postmaster to borrow the flag and bring it with me Sunday. Should we plan on meeting at the Tripoli Road trailhead at 9:00 am then?

Hi – I wanted to update you with the number of people from USPS who will be joining us Sept. 11.
We are up to 8 people – some of whom are in better shape than others. With that in mind I would vote for the longer hike from Tripoli Road. I have never gone the Greely Ponds route. How much of a difference in steepness is one from the other? As far as the flagpole is concerned – USPS is only offering the use of their flag. If you want to invest in some PVC piping and duct tape like I’ve seen the other peaks use, I would be happy to contribute.
We are planning to bring sandwiches for the peak and agree with the start time (not later than 9:00) you suggested. Looking forward to participating!!!!!!!!!
