Today we were up and out of the trailer at our earliest time. We have reservations for the Cog Railroad and we are dressed appropriately this time. We arrived at the train in time to walk around to the museum, gift shop. Eva the Beaver found a beaver to have her picture taken with.
When it was time we loaded the Cog Railroad for our 45 minute ride up the mountain. At one point on the trip we were at a 37 degree incline on Jacob's Ladder which is in the Guinness Book of records as the most treacherous train trestle. We also saw profile rock. It was really weird because the buildings and trees all looked like they were crooked but it was really us.
We made it to the top and were able to walk around for about 45 minutes. We had lunch and took some amazing photos. We boarded the train for the ride back down.
So today's question is - how tall is the summit?
Next we headed back towards the campground. But we recieved a call the Ed's brother had taken a turn for the worst and was given only 2 weeks to live. We headed back to the campground so that they would start to make some arrangements. Kathy did everyone's laundry.
THe Saunders decided to head to Vermont the next day to visit him. So we went to bed early which meant the blog would have to wait!
