Mount Washington Cog Railway

A nice token to celebrate the 100 years of steam operation. And it’s numbered.

I've been up there several times.

 

Nice elongated cent. I’d enjoy a trip to the top myself.

 

And she's still running to the top all spring/summer/fall

 

My car made it to the top twice my legs to Tuckerman's Ravine(skiing the headwall) once!

 

So that’s what it looks like at the top.

 

Never been up there either. Always wanted to go but just made it to the Polar caves. Polar Caves | Rumney, NH

 

Sounds almost funicular.

 

Never been there either. NH is one of the few states I’ve never been in. Are the Polar Caves nice?

 

Yes, very. You have to be shape though. They say that the people back then stored their wine and Cheese in the caves because they are so cold that ice remains in some caves all year round. Cool, huh?
The reasoning for being in shape is they have a "ton" of stairs to climb and then some caves are so tight inside that you have to squeeze in. One actually is called "the lemon squeeze". Very fun if you have kids. You know how they are, love to climb and go into caves. Check out the link that I provided in the post above.

 

Yes, been there, done that. Stationed there in NH for 2 years

 

@SensibleSal66 That cave is one that I could easily go through. My wife does not like caves and with my knees and feet, 7 joint replacements, it’s just too many stairs for me. I know my limitations and I stick to them. I do hope to make it to the 6 New England states one day.

 

If you ever do. Come to West Springfield's Eastern Exposition (The Big E) when they have it. Everything New England is there. People, Agriculture, shopping, amusement park and many more sites to see.... September 18th- October 4th. The Big E

 

Thanks Sal
