Flags on the 48 is a pretty sweet event that we more or less stumbled upon last year. This year, we made sure we were a part of it. We actually signed up on the website, but we were way down the list and an entire boy scout troop had signed up to do Pierce ahead of us.
After the rendevouz in Plymouth, we headed north to Crawford Notch. We went up the Crawford Path to the peak of Mt. Pierce. We encountered the troop on the trail. They were moving kind of slow so we went around when we got the chance. At the top of Pierce, another crew had set up a flag already. Yikes!. We didn't stick around for that throwdown so kept moving towards Jackson by way of Webster- Cliff Trail where we would settle in for lunch and brewskis. We got a few pics at the top with the flag and hung around for taps before heading down the Webster-Jackson trail to the car. We searched desperately for a place to swim, but Saco lake wasn't inviting. Spur of the moment we stopped in at the Mt. Washington Hotel for another drink and a smoke. Hazzahh!
