Today I received word that Wildcat A was covered today which gives us 100% coverage for year! This runs our coverage streak to 9 years in a row. I'd like to personally thank all the VOLUNTEERS who went out under uncertain weather conditions and helped make this years event a success. A...

Almost hike day. Points to remember. 1. Flags can be any size, nation, state or what not. 2. Please try to take a photo of your flag and the crew. Post to the Flags site afterwards. 3. Please confirm after your hike whether or not the flag made it to the summit. There will be a thread for...

Nice setup. I have something similar. You should clear the trees, no problem. Bring bungee cords just in case. I once lashed the assembly to the summit trees to keep it steady.

My email-s must have crossed. John, we swapped e-mail before but Owl's Head PC has cancelled and you are indeed the PC for the peak. Running around more like chicken with it's head cut off this year. Sorry for any mixup. Now we need good karma on the weather front!

Signups are open: Orphaned Peaks include: Adams Cannon Carter Dome South Hancock Owl's Head Passaconaway Middle Tripyramid North Tripyramid Washington Waumbek Whiteface Wildcat D

My design was pretty much done by trial and error. I used a ten foot piece of electrical conduit the first two years. But I had Cannon and Carrigain and I merely c-clamped it to the railing. Worked great. Then on Monroe, I got a sling that flagbearers use in parades and that is pictured...

I would reccomend looking around some of the past photos of certain peaks. The gallery is here: http://forums.flagsonthe48.org/modules.php?op=modload&name=gallery&file=index Everyone does it there own way but PVC is very popular choice for the flagpoles. Having it properly tied down is...

Signups are a week away. Remember Monday August 6th at 6:00 pm. A couple things to rememember. 1. The toughest problem that we deal with with signups is persons signing up for multiple peaks. This occurs usually when someone does not get the peak they want and they "jump" to another peak...

Flags on the 48 2012 will be held on Saturday, September 8th 2012. On the closest Saturday to September 11th, hundreds of hikers converge on New Hampshire's 4000 foot peaks and raise flags as part of a memorial to those lost on that fateful day. Flags should be at the peaks and flying by...

24 peaks gone in a minute and a half and 40 in 30 minutes. We are open!

Ha! I can remember when my 300 or so posts was in the Top Ten for total posts on this site. Times have changed.

Ironically, The Flags on the 48 website was originally a folder here on Alpinezone back in 2001-2003. It has since branched out to it's own website.
