My wife and I have a long road ahead but people like Brian around, I know my decisions will be grounded. Thanks Buddy for all the PM’s, your support and putting up with me.

I keep telling ya, your my bro Jimmy. If anything we have built up these last 5 years it is an understanding we can rely on each other for just about anything. I would walk to the gates of hell and moon Satan for ya buddy. 8)

Phew, good to hear. Imagine the flogging and evil stares I would get if I had let a peak go without coverage! 😆 Jay might stick a collar on me, call me Jackson and kick me into a cage with a dozen ticked off porcupines! 😮

We have 2 emails (one with pic) in the Squirrel file confirming Washington. At some point I need to go through and answer all the emails pertaining to the incoming picture problems. But I am a bit short for time right now. As of right now Washington is the only one on your list I can confirm, but hopefully I can confirm some more.

Good seeing you at Truants Rolly. Sounds like you had a veritable mad house up there. Beautiful weather on Flags weekend…yeah, no surprise there.

Good job Team Laffy!

Yeah, Truants as a post gather site…..FAIL. Perhaps not if we had given them notice to expect us, but showing up willy nilly overloaded them to the point that from when you ordered food and drink you MIGHT see it in 30 to 45 minutes. 😮 Some folks even jumped ship and walked up to Woodstock Inn. Hopefully we can find something better for next year.

Godspeed to all teams. Looks like we are going to get better weather than last year (though that is not that difficult to do 😆 ). As of right now we have full coverage…there are going to be a lot of flags flapping tomorrow!

I’m confused. We preassembled the entire pole then tried to raise it.

Are you suggesting raising say a 10′ section vertically, stabilize with guylines, then lift that up higher vertically, adding say a 4′ section to the bottom, and repeat?

Yes, section at a time and with a person on each guy line to hold and stabilize as you raise each section up. Not even sure that would work, but it seems like it should.

My buddy McRat has also had issues in the past trying for super long poles. I don’t think he really found a viable solution. The only thing I can think of would require a few more people, and that would be having people hold your guy lines as you raise the pole up so as to counter and stabilize. If you have three guy lines, and assuming 2 people raising and adding sections then this means a minimum of 5 people.

Don’t know if that helps.

Hello “Team Tom” 😀

I’ll be taking over the coordinator role and just want to note that I hope to meet for 8:30 so we can have toes on trail by 9:00. Other than that everything is staying the same…meet place, trails used and of course th pace.

Hope to see you all Saturday! :flag:

I feel it my supreme duty to point out the rather obvious fact that this potential disaster has a most decidedly french sounding name. 🙄 😛 :flag:
