Enjoyed my fall extreme weather day on Mt. Washington auto road. Very windy and low clouds up on top (which limited visibility) but was fun anyway. And I saw a moose on the way down!

We had an amazing trip up to the Mt Washington Observatory this spring on the Cog; the conductor in the train was amazing. The sites were also something to experience
