The Clog

I can finally type a little though my right arm is still in a cast. We finally had a day off without having any medical appointments. We went to Mt Washington and road the Clog train up to the top. The charcoal based steam engine was built in the 1800's. It runs on 3 tracks. The middle track is for the clog, a wheal with teeth to grab and pull up. The ride began at 2700 feet and climb to the top of Mt Washington at 6288 feet. Going down takes no power but a lot of breaking. The weather could not have been better. On one side of the mountain we were above the cloud and on the other you could see forever. The temperature was even pleasant.
