    RMC sign auction

    Stolen signs There are plenty of signs out there that have been stolen. Just a side note - the RMC was planning on have the Lowe's Path sign from the summit of Mt. Adams up for auction this year. When Doug Mayer went up to replace the sign, he discovered that it had been stolen. I'm sure...

    Nin is retiring (for cat lovers)

    Well, looks like everyone agrees that the Observatory should get a new cat... Yes, I was stirring the pot a little... I've grown up enjoying my visits with the summit cats anytime I was on the summit. They definitely are getting a chance at a unique life and are surrounded by many people who...

    Nin is retiring (for cat lovers)

    Should Mt. W Obs have a cat? What happens if the summit cat gets sick? How fast can you access a vet up there? Who is the actual "owner" of the summit cat? Maybe the Mt. Washington Observatory shouldn't get a new cat. Are they looking out for the welfare of the animal, or just looking for...

    World's Worst Weather? Really?

    Bring on the tourists... I think "Home to the World's Worst Weather" is a pretty good slogan... New Hampshire needs the tourists. It's better than "Home to A Lot of Fog."

    Internal temperature inside Gray Knob?

    Temperature inside Gray Knob I'd suggest planning for the worst... bring a -20 bag and expect no heat. If the caretaker is there and it's 40 degrees inside, it will be a bonus. Caretakers are instructed to not let the temperature rise above 40 (because crazy temperature fluctuations can...

    Tuckerman Ice Axe Impalement Pic?

    Hi, My uncle was one of the EMTs who treated that guy, and took the picture. I believe that it used to be posted here or at the Dartmouth site during the winter months when there was a photo gallery. I'll e-mail my uncle to see if he still has the pic and if he'll re-post it... Jeff Smith
