Worst Weather in the World

Image
I flew up to Maine to see my sister and cousins for a few days. As part of the trip we went up Mount Washington in NH. We went up on the Cogged Railway. It's A unique old vehicle system that only uses a large cog underneath the engine hooked into a ladder type of rack on the tracks all the way to the top. The modern engine uses a 600HP John Deere driving a hydraulic pump which in turn drives several hydraulic motors turning the large cog. Mt Washington is known for the extreme cold and highest wind in the world. Yes, the world. That was not the case when we went up. The winds were 3 MPH and the temp was 62 degrees. the highest ever temp ever recorded was 72 degrees and a 3 MPH wind is generally unheard of. So, the weather was quite kind for us.
Google News It is interesting to see what google does with blogger. I see new free features. I suspect that we they are trying to get access to more content. I apologize for not blogging much lately. It is always a busy time of year. I still have to finish my story traveling to James Bay James Bay as well as llama stories and I need to post aerial photos I took of the house and property. Thanks for stopping in. Please stop back.
