Travel Tuesday: News from Mt Washington

A few years ago I was asked to speak at a conference at Mt. Washington in New Hampshire.  I went in a day early, so I had time to ride the cog-railway to the top of the mountain, went out of my way to book a coal fired steam train.  It was spectacular.  When we got to the top the mountain was in a heavy fog.  I loved it. 

I read recently that there is a proposal to build guest accommodations, a hotel of some type in the national park at the top.  I might need to go back.

    I always loved seeing the "This car climbed Mt. Washington" bumper stickers and yet I never did it myself. It would be so much more fun in a steam train.

      Most of the trains are diesel hydraulic drive, I went out of my way for the coal fired steam.

    I'm sorry, but this type of foggy photos always puts me in mind of the Crawling Eye movie! that thing has stuck with me since I was a kid! I must say though, it's very atmospheric.
