Mount Washington top


Convenient photo opportunity- this building at the top of Mount Washington is actually chained down so it can't blow away. I've added a few more feet past the height of the wheelchair on the ground with the aid of one of these chains.



The hands made it up the road without taping or using gloves. Not having to tape up blisters saved some time.







Below the 'Tip Top House', as part of the journey to this highest place on the East Coast, we built a cairn.

While most rocks in this cairn are rough and angular, like the boulder upon which it was assembled, the topmost rock is smooth and rounded- a riverstone.

These ancient bits of the earth are gathered in memory of a young child whose initials are D. M. . He is mourned by mother and family.

D.M. died recently while still quite young. He is the son of a woman from my hometown neighborhood. She has always been polite and kind to me. I wanted to make a gesture.

The stone? It was found a few feet away.
