It Doesn't Get Better Than This

A continuation of the kind of weather that vacationers only dream about – but often think is too much to hope for – will be in the area the next couple of days as well, as a high pressure system stalls over the Mount Washington Valley. Fall is here in full bloom, and we even have ‘frost on the pumpkin’ this morning to prove it! Brrrr…..

When my husband saw that the summit of Mount Washington had 120-mile visibility this morning, he decided to take our 3 housekeepers (students from Shanghai, China) to the top of the Rockpile (Mount Washington) for an experience they won’t soon forget. Although it is only 10 minutes from The Lodge geographically, it is actually a world away experientially, and the summit experience is not anything you (or they) are ever likely to forget. (Just got word from a guest who had also gone up to the mountain this morning, that the Auto Road is temporarily closed due to ice, and will hopefully open again in an hour or so. It pays to call ahead!). A big consolation is that on her way back to The Lodge, she saw a huge moose feeding, and then walking across the water. It was a postcard shot to be sure … her ‘trophy’ shot to take back to her home state of Minnesota!
