Mount Washington

We have been in the Mount Washington area for nearly a week, but we've had limited phone and email.....so a big update tonight.

What a beautiful area! Vistas around every corner. We love the many rocky streams with COLD water passing barely over rocks rounded by many years of exposure to the constant flow of water. They are also very SLIPPERY and it's easy to suddenly drop into the water unexpectedly.

To the left is a photo of the longest covered bridge in NH. It's very neat, but amazingly still in daily use.
We have uploaded a few more shots in the "Slideshow" at the top of the blog. By the way, it may be easier to view pix by clicking on the symbol in the lower right hand corner which will bring you to Picasa and you can move around, skip and such much quicker. Please let me know if things are running too slowly for you...I may have to make some changes.





Have you ever seen the movie Jeepers Creepers? If not, you won't recognize this truck...if you have....we ran across this old truck in the middle of the woods...too much like the one the crazy guy had in the movie....
We took the cog railway up to the top of Mount Washington, the highest peak on the East Coast at 6288 feet. The cog railway is pretty unique in that it uses a cog/chainlike system to pull you up and bring you down the very steep slope of the mountain. A fun and enjoyable trip.

Having trouble with this update so will continue in another...
