TR i placed OM on the summit of mt. jupiter. i once again had to make the summit alone as my hiking buddy, kate, decided to stop 1/2 mile or so from the summit and returned to a spot where one can see jupiter lake to wait for me. i found a spot to place OM, took photos, got eaten by mosquitos, checked the view, grabbed a quick snack, and headed down.

i was probably 1/2 mile or so from the summit when this guy was coming (running ) up the trail. i asked who he was and he was hesitant for a minute. i asked if he was seattlehikertoo. yes he was. he had shot out a PM to let me know that he will be coming today to retrieve OM. i showed him the photos of where i laid OM. we yakked some and off i went to find kate. i figure at his speed he'll catch up with the old ladies pretty quick this has got to be the shortest stay of any register on a summit! kate and i just got back to the truck when seattlehikertoo made it back. he's young here's our photo

bcfc53, Your reference to the "NWHTSR" being on Red Mtn. for a month is incorrect, just to bring you up to date, it has been on Galleon Mtn. sense the 17th of July. See quote below for details. Cheers! Richard

[bobbi]

correction noted thanks but did you see who got it? don b i was really using the difficulty of Red. almost a month on galleon mtn. (i think someone may get it, puzzlr?) and ed miller's register is still on mt. hinman since june ( i think) Adrewzki:You don't have to place it on a peak that's intentionally difficult but you also shouldn't make it easy. It should be a reward for a path well traveled, you know? it's not a matter of difficult or easy. it's enjoyment and that's the reward. but i'm done..

Thank you bc for the company, conversation, and the TR. I hike by myself quite a bit so it was a nice change. I had such a late start (I wasn't hiking until after 1:15p because I couldn't catch the ferry until after 10a), but except for the 2 backpackers, there was no one else but us...Still made the summit around 3p... I took about 100 pics. I will make the selects and get them up asap, hopefully by tomorrow night they will be up. Too bad it got so socked in at the summit. I diddled around up there for nearly an hour looking for shots and hoping for a sunbreak or 2 to see the views everyone raves about in the register. I took some fog shots, cliff shots, and some of a wildflower I have never seen before on the way down. NEXT DESTINATION: bc - Since I retrieved the register so soon, I think it is only fair to let you list your top 3. I think we talked about Baldy and Rose + a few others. I will place it on one of those.

[bobbi]

you are so sweet to assign me the placing of OM's next summit destination. mt. rose is in the southeast olympics - i'm sure our members there would love the opportunity to retrieve it and place it elsewhere. i guess with the super quick retrieval of OM on mt. jupiter, no other summit bagger (nwhikers or otherwise) got a chance to sign it. how about signing some fake names? summitsRus, mt. rainier, WA; thubten from kathmandu, nepal; Rumdoodle; flatlander@topeka, KS. awaiting retrieval photos of OM on mt. jupiter.

Congrats bcfc53. The register wasn't there long. That happened with the other traveling register on Yellow Aster Butte. Link 2nd post down

[bobbi]

thank you reststep that's funny - NB had Tomyhoi and YAB, i believe OM only managed a very quick nap of mt. jupiter. the NWHTSR managed to meditate on YAB

[bobbi]

if you are reading this, seattlehikertoo, mt. rose is a great choice for OMs new home!

[seattlehikertoo]

Hello OMTR fans...I have made my photo selects, and will be uploading them tonight as promised. I have decided to put the register on top of Mt Walker. This way you don't even have to hike to get it. Nah...Save that one for after the Brothers...Sorry, I couldn't resist after the all the quibbling lately... Btw, Who is "pest?"

[bobbi]

pest is the queen of mount rose!!

I've finally put up a trip report for the placement on Moose Peak. Better late than never? https://www.nwhikers.net/forums/viewtopic.php?p=404976
