A sunny day at 6,288 feet.
Wow! What the heck am I doing up here!? |

The U.S. Geological Survey marker. Mount Washington
is the second highest peak on the Appalachian Trail, and holds the
world wind speed record of 230 mph. Some of the buildings at the
summit are actually chained to the ground to keep them from
blowing away! |
 |
The Mt. Washington Cog Railway
is the oldest in the world, dating from 1869.
A technological marvel then and now, the railway climbs
to the very summit of the mountain.
|
 |
It takes a ton of coal and nearly two hours
to reach the top. |
 |
Watch your step getting out! |

Aaron and I at the top. |

This is the woman who took the previous picture.
It's an old habit of mine to always take
the picture of anybody who takes my picture.
She hiked up the mountain and still had energy left to
help us out. Thanks! :-) |
