(Mt. Jackson, from MWM Observatory)
Starting on September 11, 2002, an intrepid group of hikers began to honor the memory of the victims of 9/11 by flying American flags from the summit of the major peaks over 4,000' tall here in New Hampshire's White Mountains. In 2004, for the first time, all 48 peaks were summited and "flagged" on the same day.
This past Thursday, they set out again, and the weather was perfect (except for the summit of Mt. Adams, of course!). Click on the post title to get to the home page of the 48 folks, and then click on the gallery link. Since it's only been a few days since 9/11, some of the images haven't been posted yet.
