A great week on the Rockpile!

A week spent volunteering on the summit of Mount Washington was awesome. There is no other place in the world where you can spend a week like this. I was able to experience amazing sunsets and beautiful star-lit nights lying on the observatory deck. The weather allowed for a few fantastic hikes on trails that you otherwise would not choose to hike, and we even were able to see a bear! Of course, we also enjoyed the great comradery and learning experience of spending a week with the crew at the top. We also experienced some interesting weather like strong winds that were so strong you could lean into it at a 45-degree angle and still not fall! I cannot wait to do this again!
