HI Gang,
I mentioned in passing last week that I was leading a group of Scouts up Mt. Washington, which is nortorious for its capricious weather. Since my posts ahve been scarce, I wanted to let everone know that, in spite of the weather, we did return safely, although we had to turn back 800 feet short of the summit due to imminent rain, hail and lighnning. We made it back to the Lake of the Clouds Hut in time to stay dry, although a second storm drenched us on the way down...
