in reply to: Mt. Moosilauke #53790
Thanks for signing up for Moosilauke! It is still early an there will likely be others wanting to join you on such a beautiful peak. Even if no one else signs up, if the weather is descent, there will be dozens of people on the summit sharing your experience… 😀
Regardless, if the weather is bad the event may or may not be postponed (depending on how severe the weather is). If the event is still on, but the weather is marginal, this is something that you will have to decide on, and safety should be your number one choice…
If you do need to cancel for any reason, please let us know ASAP…
in reply to: Wildcat "D" #53194SK,
Awesome report! You have come a long way over the past 5 months and it is fantastic that you were able to participate again this year. You also had some mighty fine company! We missed you at CMR, but I can certainly understand not camping in the rain…
in reply to: 2007 signups #52709We have contemplated earlier sign-ups, but we worry about cancelations. It’s hard enough to get people to committ to a hike 2 months in advance, let alone 3 or 4…
We will certainly take this into concideration though…

Someone quickly throw salt over their shoulder.
The first thing that comes to mind is the scene with Cam Neeley from “Dumb and Dumber” 😀 Too funny!

Thanks for the W/B! I will have a few stories for ya when we meet again at this years post gathering. 🙂
Also, winter in the Whites is “SPECTACULAR”
in reply to: Weather predictions for Memorial Hike #52622Early Sept in New England typically has the finest weather of the year in this ever changing climate zone. For a few weeks we actually rival San Diego for the best weather in the country. They on the other hand, have that type of weather year round 😮
in reply to: 2006 Post Event Gathering Thoughts #52181Establishing a “main” post event gathering is a great idea (as we have seen in the past), but the only problem I see with the KOA is it’s location.
It’s South of the Whites off of 93, and people who are doing peaks in the Northern Pressies/Carter Range/Crawford Notch will have a long drive ahead of them.
It works well for the people who are travelling South towards Mass, but not for the people heading to Maine, or NH on the Rt 16 side.
The Mooseland worked out quite well (except for it’s service) due to it’s location, but I think we could be limiting people by choosing a place not in a centralized location. Not that I have a better idea though 😀
in reply to: The original 6 hikers reunite on 5th anniversary? #52206Hello dirt_girl,
It’s a great thought, but I tend to think that the people in question know about the event but choose not to participate… We have to respect peoples opinion and choice, though we might not agree with them…
in reply to: The original 6 hikers reunite on 5th anniversary? #52203I think there is a better chance of George Mason making the Final Four 😆 (wish I picked them for my bracket 😉 )
In reality, I don’t know what happened to the rest of the gang. Gail participated in 3 events, but not last year. Rob (The Back Country Explorer on VFTT, who used to be Machimoodus on AMC) lives out West and I haven’t seen him since 2002. He also rarely posts anymore. Mary Margret (MMM) and her husband Tony practically dissappeared off the face of the Earth back in spring 2002 (after helping to found the event on Greg’s site), and Joe (who was Gail’s friend) lost contact right after our original hike.
RJ is MRH on VFTT and AMC, but has never participated. He helped out with the organizing of first event, and did the manual sign-ups for the 1st year (we have come a long way sice then). Other original committee members were: Spencer, Greg, Gail, Mary-Margret, and myself.
One thing I do have to mention is that if wasn’t for Greg, who knows what would have happened with this event. We had a dream, but he helped make it REAL. Without his help, this event would have lasted maybe a year or 2. His creation of the original FOT48 website kept the momentum going…
The other component that has kept things going is the people who have stepped up and have made a difference in keeping this memorial hike alive. I am not going to mention names, but you know who you are… :flag: :flag: :flag:
I saved both the front page and the picture as HTML. Unfortunately, I have no idea how to post them here…
in reply to: A-10 flyby #51710Sarah,
Awesome video! You really captured the moment! We saw the A-10 buzz both Garfield and Lafayette before heading over to salute us on Lincoln. Our reaction was exactly the same as the one you recorded on Liberty! We then watched it head over to you guys and beyond… Incredible…
Well done!!! :flag: :flag:
in reply to: Patches available! #51624People like you have already reimbursed us by just stepping up and being a part of this memorial hike. A patch is just a small way of saying thanks.
Have a safe and memorable hike!

in reply to: I can’t believe this is happening! #51592Hello Jessbee,
I sent an email out to the PC of N. Kinsman last night regarding the issue, but have not received a reply as of yet. Some people who sign up might give an email address that they don’t check very often, and they also might not visit this site (which seems to be the case in this situation).
Please feel free to do your own thing and bring your own flag. The possibility of 2 flags flying on the summit is much better than none…
