Hi All, Latest forecast (3:54 PM) out of Gray ME for Mt Passaconaway.
Again, let’s meet at the Oliverian Trail head by 8:30 to talk through the approach. Potentially delay a bit then make a quick pace to get set up by noontime. Thanks, Mark

in reply to: Passaconaway #55761Folks,
Below is the current forecast as or 7:54AM today from NOAA out of Gray Maine. The number one goal of this hike is safety for everyone followed by raising the flag in memory of 9/11. At a minimum I think we should meet tomorrow morning as planned and assess as a team the path forward. I’ll monitor the forecast through the day and repost an update later this afternoon. I am concerned from a communications stand point that we are now splitting the approach amongst the team.
