Who Is King Of The Mountain?

For a brief few seconds, B was the highest person in New England. Here he stands triumphant on top of Mt. Washington.

Scenic Vista Or Tourist Trap?

We visited the location of the world's worst weather -- New Hampshire's Mt. Washington. The weather wasn't all that bad with an air temp of around 40 degrees and winds clocking in the 30-40 mph range. The view from the top of Mt. Washington was truly spectacular. You could literally see your hand in front of your face.

How To Set Your Own World Records

Welcome to Part One of Brandon's Patented Set-Your-Own-World-Record Seminar. If you take away only one piece of advice, remember to GET SPECIFIC! Pick a category of record that no one has tried! You're sure to be the best! Here's a great example! The Mt. Evans Highway is the "Highest Paved Road In North America"! Place a deck of cards on the highest pavement and you've just set a record for "Highest Deck Of Cards On Pavement In North America"! Or try, "Highest Aria Performed On Pavement In North America"!

Bighorn-A-Palooza

After all of my griping about not being able to see any bighorn sheep, we were overwhelmed by them at the summit of Mt. Evans. Oddly, this photograph looks like we stuffed and posed them in front of a painted background. If you don't believe it, K has the gore marks to prove it.

Mountain Safety 101

Don't forget the snow!

We waited about six hours to see our first avalanche, but nothing happened. So we threw rocks at the mountain hoping to make it angry.

Name That Peak!

Boy, do we get a lot of feedback from our readers! We barely have time to enjoy vacation after sorting through all the fan mail. We did discover that our loyal audience wants to participate more in the blog. So, we devised a little interactive contest that you should enjoy.

Driving along US-50, we found this lovely peak which, according to our topographic atlas, does not have a name! We want you, the readers, to name the peak. Please put your suggestions in the comment area, and in a few days, we'll decide which one we like the best, and send it off to the authorities or whoever keeps track of these things.

And, thanks for reading! We wouldn't be here without you!

Mountains!

We sighted our first mountain today. It really sticks out on the flat plains of Nebraska. I think the locals refer to it as Mount Nebraska State Capitol Building.
