If Darren doesn't mind, I'll refer you to my site. There are a lot of NE skiers there that may be interested in joining you. Link in sig.

Stephen confirmed that flags were flown on all 48 4Ks last Saturday! Many of the pics are now posted: http://forums.flagsonthe48.org/modules.php?set_albumName=album01&op=modload&name=gallery&file=index&include=view_album.php Great job, everyone!

Re: pasties :D I like the the canned herring in Louisiana hot sauce. Plunk those down on some saltines... I allso often do craisins, cheese, chocolate, pepperoni, dried fruit, etc..

My brother and I will be basecamped in the Pemi and flagging South Twin.

How about Guyot? I pronounce it Gi (as in the karate outfit)-Oh.

I've never used them, and don't really have an inclination to try them...yet. I do get some knee pain on descents after a long hike, so maybe I'll give a single pole a try sometime. It would have to be very light and fully collapsable though. I don't think I'll ever have a desire to use them...

Sorry to hear you haven't had good experiences with the Kelty Back Country, percious. It's been fine for me, but I haven't used it on long hikes. To confirm, I did see it again at Costco this weekend. The price was $145.

Re: Thanks All for the Advice & Encouragement I hope Darren doesn't mind me posting this link, but this discussion helped me a lot when I was shopping for a kid carrier: http://forums.alpinezone.com/viewtopic.php?t=520 I've seen the Kelty Backcountry at Costco for ~$140. Hope this helps. Oh...

If you do try to camp at the bluff, bypass the sites near the big rock (you can't miss it). Look for the designated site just down and across the river and at the junction of the Great Gulf and Madison Gulf Trails. It's one of the best designated sites in the Whites, IMO.

http://www.flagsonthe48.org/q&a.htm That page has not been updated yet. This year it will be held on 9/11/04 and I believe the goal is to accept registrations on 7/4. Hope this helps.

You'll be there in spirit, ped. I couldn't particpate last year as my daughter was very sick at the time. There's always 2005 for you! Just concentrate on recovering. For those of you that don't know what Flags on the 48 (also know as FOT48) is, have a look here: http://www.flagsonthe48.org/

Stephen will be working on an automated sign-up system. I would guess sometime in the summer. Keep an eye on the forum for an announcement.

You may notice the Flags on the 48 forum is no longer hosted on AlpineZone.com. This is because we've set up a dedicated Flags on the 48 Forum! Stephen (the8re) and I will be your co-administrators for this new forum and you can find it here: http://forums.flagsonthe48.org/ Please note: Any...
