Mt. Washington - June 30th 2008

Monday, June 30th we hit the Ammonoosuc Ravine Trail to summit Washington. It was a cold , raw day and Steve's 50th birthday. We had a crew-Dick, Steve, Charlie, Jimmy leading (or following) the younger crew of Curran, Flannery, Riley, Leah , Lynn, Wesley and Austin. Summit temps were 50 degrees and it was so cold I needed mittens.We descended via Jewell Trail and lost Curran, Wesley and Austin who went down the wrong path at the end. Check out the boys feeding the Canada Jays on Jewell. Afterwards, we went back to the Intervale motel and ate pizza. First time on Washington for most of the kids. They sang, played games and shouted and whooped the whole way down. A very memorable day.
