I spent the early part of the week vacationing with my wife and parents in Kentucky. I had planned on doing Big Butt W4C/CM-009 with Dean K2JB. The weather forecast indicated intense storms through Friday with a 50% chance of rain in the Carolina Mountains. I thought about postponing the activation – but as of April 18, the front has been shifting enough to predict improving weather conditions for the 20th. I was hopeful that weather improves enough as a Trans-Atlantic Summit-to-Summit event has been planned for that day by the boys across the pond and more alerts have been posted.
Dean K2JB sent me an email stating that he could not accompany me on the hike to Big Butt as his wife sustained an injury to her knee and would have an MRI on Saturday. As of April 19, I deleted my alert. Doing an alternate summit that is a drive up – such as Sassafras Mtn would have given away summit points that I otherwise could have had. So as it stands, there would be no activations during week 27.
