Jeff and I drove up to Mt.
Washington in the White Mountains of New Hampshire to do some
backpacking with his cousin and his cousin's friend .
On the first part of our trip we did a 2 day trip on the
Appalachian trail over Wildcat Mt. Here is Jeff and our gear at
the summit of one of the peaks we went over
.

All
of us pose for a picture at the
summit.
|
|
The bare rock face of this mountain is the
scar left from the material that slid and piled up into the lake
below.
|
|
This
was our campsite the first night. We were exhausted. It was one of
the most difficult trips I had done.
Most of the hiking was
either straight
up or straight
down.
|
|
On
the third day we did a day hike to the summit of
Mt. Washington. This is looking up to Tuckerman's
ravine.
|
|
Here we are nearing
the
summit.
|
|
Almost
there.
|
|
Some
woman yelled at me for "making" CJ hike to the top with us. Judging
by this picture, I'd say CJ had
a pretty good time.
|
|
This
was one of the original weather stations located at the summit.
Notice the chains used to keep the
building from blowing
away.
|
|
This
is the cog railroad. From the backside of Mt. Washington, you can
take it to the top.
|
|
This is looking down to the Lake in the
Clouds hut. You can barely see it off to the right of the lake.
