SARGENT'S PURCHASE — It was a mild winter day in late February when I got to join U.S. Rep. Chris Pappas (D-N.H.) for a trip to the summit of Mount Washington. At 6,288 feet, with temperatures in the high 20s, one might even say it was balmy.
A snow cat ride to the summit is a privilege, a trip that few get the chance to take. The Auto Road and summit facilities are generally closed to visitors in the winter, except for a few special trips.
