Well the weekend weather at home looked grim...much rain. So we took the long ride over to western Mass, and literally outran the rain, well most of it.
We landed in Warwick. Home of Mt. Grace. A fairly small mountain with a fairly large fire tower on it. We hiked in more of a "mist" than a "drizzle". And warm. Dad says "It's always a warm rain" Dad's usually right. Dad was also the one who chose to climb the fire tower for pictures. Pictures of the metal frame work that looked like the AT symbol, pictures of me and Mom down on the ground, pictures of fog to the west and more fog over to the communication towers east on the adjoining hill. Fog, fog, fog.
We made our way back down to the field where we parked. There was a model shelter there for picnicking. We got a chuckle out of the power meter on the side of it. Think it's the first shelter we've ever seen with power!
We slept in the van Saturday night and made the long mosey home Sunday. We stopped at another train museum in Sandown N.H. I, of course, posed on all the trains. Dad and I even "faked" riding on the "rail bike" (see bottom video) Looks like more nice weather for the week...good there are many more mountains to climb! Always an adventure.
