"Live Free Or Die” is the state motto of this tax free New England state, home to the White Mountains and Lake Winnipesaukee. The White Mountains are said to have the most rugged terrain in New England. The range is part of the Appalachian Trail with its highest peak on Mount Washington. With an elevation of 6,288 feet, Mount Washington is the tallest peak in the northeastern United States. 52-acres of state forest encompass the mountain which attracts visitors from all over who love the outdoor adventure of camping, hiking, and mountain climbing.The weather here can be quite challenging and the mountain has taken many lives. In fact, Mount Washington holds a world record for achieving a wind speed of 231 MHP. As I write this article this January morning, the summit conditions are quite warm: -13 degrees with a wind chill of 50 below and 64mph wind gust.For some really fasinating information and statistics, visit the Mount Washington Observatory website.
