Attention: TDR Forum Junkies After my post about driving up Mt. Washington back in September I had a bunch of people that seemed interested in a group drive up to the top of the mountain. I took a little initiative and looked into what we could do for driving some of our huge rigs up the hill. I've gotten a reply back from the company that runs the auto road, and it seems that if we have enough comitment (30 adults @ $20pp) to hit the $600 minimum we could do a sunset tour with $10 additional pp for a BBQ at the mountain (outlined below). Knowing that there would be some people interested in coming from quite w distance I'm posting this in the national events section. So here's a poll: Would you be willing to commit to a drive up to Mt. Washington, probably mid-late summer for a sunset tour on the mountain?
Here's how it works:
Your club meets at the base of the Auto Road. If a BBQ is scheduled, we gather a little earlier and enjoy a BBQ surrounded by the views of the mountains, the club can socialize, etc. Our food service does a great job at these. BYOB is permitted.
About an hour before Sunset, we depart and take the drive to the summit. The views and conditions at Sunset can be quite incredible as you can imagine. The club can roam the summit, hang out at the observation deck and watch the sunset. The State's building on the top will be open for rest rooms or to warm up if needed. (We recommend that everyone brings jacket for the summit). The gift shop and museum are closed at that time.
After the Sunset, we make our way down the Auto Road. An Auto Road van will lead/follow going up and down. All vehicles will receive an audio tour on CD or cassette, and the world famous 'This Car Climbed Mt. Washington" bumper sticker. A few years ago a Hummer club actually had a "This Hummer Climbed Mt. Washington" sticker made up.
Here is cost/reservation information.
Adults $20. 00 p/p Children ages 5-12 $10. 00 p/p
(Minimum of $600. 00 needed to reserve trip)
BBQ menu options offer pasta, chicken,
hamburgers, hot dogs, salads,and vegetarian choices.
Cost: Add $10. 00 p/p for the BBQ.
(A 15% gratuity is added to the total cost of the function)
