A Volunteer’s Week
2016-02-27 09:21:16.000 – Laura Dorfman, Summit Volunteer
This was a very exciting week for me. I have volunteered at the top of Mount Washington twice before in the summer. But this week I volunteered in the winter, which is a very different experience. I got to cook dinner for the crew (and celebrate two birthdays). My fellow volunteer Carol and I met and cooked for two groups of people visiting for the day, and for a group of hikers staying overnight. It is fun to meet all the visitors and hear their stories.
