Going for a ride
Title:  Going for a ride
Description:  We went up to North Conway on the way to Mt Washington in July 2004. It was a convenient place to overnight, and we got to ride a few miles on the old Maine Central Mountain Division. Sadly, gone are the days of harvest gold GP 38s lugging real tonnage over the White Mountains to Vermont. The weather, as it always is for me, is dismal.
