This will have to do for our summit. We were just a few steps from the peak of Mount Washington, but decided we did not have to summit to prove our manliness!Got up and moving around 7. I was anxious to get out of Boston because I was always lossed and the Hostel was a little tough. On the road by 8. Again after getting lossed a couple times and a question asking session I was on the interstate finally. Arrived at White River Junction around 11:30. Had some lunch with Emily and Jason. Emily is a very good cook. The barbecued pork and cheese dip was great. I showered and laid down for a few minutes. It was nice not having to worry about which exit to take and if my stuff was safe. I had forgotten how nice Emily and Jason are. Jason and I drove around for awhile and did a short hike. Very pretty as there was a little fog, snow, ice and water. Vermont/ New Hampshire is very pretty.

Emily got up and fixed breakfast and Jason and I got up to eat it 😊 ! Again Emily’s cooking abilities showed through and we had a great breakfast. Jason and I left the house around 9:30 and headed for Mount Washington. We stopped along the way for some photos and stopped to see Santa at
Moose Quest 2007
Jason scanning the horizon for a moose! a campground area where there are Santa Clause themed amusement rides and tours. We made it to Mount Washington around 1. We saw these vans with snow cat tread which was really cool. The only problem was there was no snow. We went to the main visitor center and they suggested a trail and we hiked it. It was about a 4 mile trail and it was well suited for a our skill level and training ability. At the top of the trail we met a guy who actually lives in a cabin at the top of the trail. I suspect he may go to bed early as about 4:30 it gets dark there and I suspect he has no tv. Jason had a can of Pringles that we ate during the hike. At the top of the trail there was a well that we drank from and filled our water bottle. We got down around 5 and jumped in the car and headed back to White River Junction. Jason called Emily on the way to let her know when we would get back as she was again slaving behind the stove. When we made it back Emily was just
Moose Droppings
Yes, we have moose sign. wrapping up her supper of flank cut steaks, mashed potatoes and green beans. It was great. I pigged out. After the meal they appeased my Bruce Springsteen fix by allowing me to watch a Bruce DVD on their great sound system. It was like the Boss was doing a concert for us exclusively on that wide screen tv. I was in heaven surround by Emily, Jason and a life sized Bruce Springsteen. We went to bed around 10:30. Jason and Emily both had busy days the next day. I did too, but it was for personal reasons not employment reasons.
