Exciting Times
2014-06-17 22:38:10.000 – Jan Berriochoa, Summit Museum Attendant
It is an exciting time on the summit. The Museum is now open and droves of visitors have come to Extreme Mount Washington. Due to the weather, the Auto Road was only open halfway causing the ribbon cutting to be held down below at the Great Glen Trails Outdoor Center. After spending four days in the fog with rain and high winds, we ended our Friday’s shift with a spectacular sunset and rose Saturday morning to a glorious sunrise.
Since this is my first summer on the summit, this week was the first time I had the chance to experience the Auto Road’s Ride to the Sky. I have to admit I have never seen that much leather in my life. It was a unique experience to say the least, but I am really excited for next shift when the Auto Road will be hosting the 2014 Subaru Mount Washington Hill Climb race.
