在New Hampshire的白山有一片總統山脈，由13個山峰組成，9座山海拔超過4000英尺，其中7座山峰命名為總統的名字：Mount Washington， Mount Adams， Mount，Jefferson，Mount Madison, Mount Monroe, Mount Franklin， Mount Eisenhower。
上個月Memorial Day長周末和LP到白山爬山。5月28日開車到達白山已經過了中午，決定到華盛頓山去。1784年Reverend Jeremy Belknap首先記錄了華盛頓山峰。華盛頓山海拔6228英尺（1917米），是密西西比河以東最高的山峰。以風大，氣候惡劣多變著名。不到山頂上很難想象狂風像脫韁的野馬，冰雨刺骨撕心裂肺之寒冷。

狂風極其狂烈，夾著冰雨，還有冰粒打得臉生疼，3米就看不見了
拚死也得到山頂處，根本無法站得穩，眼睛也睜不開，冷的瑟瑟發抖
終於到了山頂，可是視野隻有3米，什麽也看不見。
晴天可以看到波士頓，介紹說甚至可以看到紐約。
隻能下山了

要走了，山下雨停了。
第二天是一個風和日麗的好天氣，我還感覺有個遺憾，一是應該爬上山去，二是一覽眾山小，遠眺波士頓。

LP說，開車的道路很險，有的就在懸崖邊上。

還是別開車上，太刺激，還是火車安全，和軌道有齒輪齧合，看著就踏實。
