2. New England 4000+ ft Mountains

Mt. Moosilauke 09.08.2012

For my first revisit to Mt. Moosilauke, I decided it would be for Flags on the 48 on 9-8-12. An annual flying of the USA flag on all 48 four thousand footers in memory of 9-11-01. The group I went with ascended up the Gorge Brook Trail and came back down the same way. The hike was 6.65 miles with a total elevation gain of 2,286 ft. On the summit it was 59, cloudy, and with winds averaging around 28mph and gusting up to 36mph. We didn't have good views, but the flag was always out fully extended.
