Official post. Save the date. More to come.
February 17,18 and 19. Friday night to Sunday at the Ark Trail Inn.
Note that Monday is a holiday so you might want to plan for an extra night.
Where? Ark Trail Inn (http://arktrailinn.com/), Keene, NY
Who? Anyone who wants to come.
How? People start to roll in on Friday night for some chit-chat, turn in early and do a hike on Saturday. By Saturday afternoon around 4:00 people, bearing large quantities of excellent hiker-friendly food, start showing up in the Ark's salon/dining room and they keep on showing up all evening long.
Food? Pot luck (there will be a thread organizing the food).
Additional Lodging: (To name a few) Randomscoots Cabin (http://www.vrbo.com/181716), Jackrabbit Hostel (http://www.tmax-n-topo.com/), Brookside Inn (http://www.adirondacks.com/brookside/), Keene Valley Hostel (http://www.keenevalleyhostel.com/). The Ark Trail Inn has a limited number of rooms but last I heard there were a couple left.
Fund raising event: What started out in 2005 as a low-key get-together has grown into a full-blown gathering and a Foundation fund raiser.
Considering that most people are working on some kind of list (46, 46-W, 46-4 seasons, 46-12 month grid) this will be our 4th attempt at getting someone on top of each of the 46 on a single winter's day. We have yet to be successful at this, but we have a lot of fun trying! We are linking the gathering to our big, annual fund raising event by requesting voluntary donations. Click here (http://www.adkhighpeaks.com/forums/showthread.php?goto=newpost&t=16537) for the details or go directly to the donations page (http://www.adkhighpeaks.com/forums/foundation.php).
This year, in order to increase our odds of summitting all 46 peaks the "peaks 'n' people" organizers will be working to avoid large groups on a single peak if other summits are not covered.
