Flags on the 48 -- 2008

[SilentCal]

This years edition of the Flags on the 48 Memorial event will be taking place on September 13th 2008 from Noon until 2 p.m. Our hopes are to raise flags at the 48 4000 foot summits of New Hampshire's White Mountains.

Signups for this years event will start on July 14th at 6:00 p.m. Please have more than one peak in mind as signups are usually quite swift for the more popular peaks.

The event has a website which is located at: www.Flagsonthe48.org
You can find a history of the event, past years photo galleries, a discussion forum and a Q+A to learn more information about the memorial. Should you have any questions, please drop me a pm and I'll help you in any way that I can.

Thanks to all the past flagraisers and I hope you can join us for this years hike.

Thanks for the sign-up. I'll be on Eisenhower. I'm really hoping for a gem of a day weather-wise.

I, too, am praying for a spectacular gem of a weather day.

Although the place where I spend my summers working is often subject to some not-kind comments, there is little that compares to a crystalline Bluebird FOT48, a Color Guard at attention, and the prospect of SEEING 5-6 flags flying way above Pinkham Notch, and the base of the Auto Road.

I'd love to go to the top of the Rock Pile on one of those days with 120 mile visibility. It is an indescribable connection.

Thanks to everyone who makes this endeavor a reality.
