A celebration of all the firsts at the Mt. Washington Auto Road! Alton Weagle had a passion for Mt. Washington. To show his passion, he climbed the Mt. Washington Auto Road in a number of unique ways: by car, on foot, walking backwards, blindfolded and finally pushing a wheelbarrow full of sugar…just to name a few. This day honors his spirit and the spirit of all those from camels to unicycles to Segways to pogo sticks to autos who have been the first up the mountain. Actually we’ve never had a pogo stick bounced all the way up the Auto Road – think you’re up to it? Contact howie@mt-washington.com.
The day will include a ceremony honoring Alton Weagle in the Red Barn Museum.
