Tonight's program: A Week's Stay at the Mt. Washington Observatory



August 8  7:00 pm Brenda & Preston Conklin 


Brenda & Preston Conklin spent two separate weeks volunteering atop Mt Washington - one in spring and one in winter. Their presentation will cover the history of the Mt. Washington Observatory, as well as weather and life at the summit. 




The week begins with a drive up the Auto Road in the Observatory van. Food for the week is prepared from supplies in the well-stocked summit kitchen. Highlights of the week include learning about weather instruments and climbing metal ladders to the top of the weather tower parapet - 40 feet above the 6,288 ft. summit.
