The High Road...Breezy Mount Washington

As a sailors I seem to always note wind activity at the boat and from afar. Well if you travel to New Hampshire and in particular Mount Washington one will surely find wind....and lots of it. There is a sign on the mountain stating "the highest wind ever observed by man was recorded here"....231 miles per hour in 1934....want some of that in your sails. The whole story can be found in the current CAA Magazine (Summer 2014). Seems to be a cool place to visit. The author did the trip up the mountain by motorcycle. He mentioned a few neat named locations along the route such as the Horn, Mother-in-Law's Drop and the Cow Pasture......George
