Mystery of the White Mountains

I was lucky. Years ago, a job opened up for me in New Hampshire’s White Mountains. Now I couldn’t live anyplace else. Each morning I look up to see if Mt. Washington will be joining us today – it often can’t, being in the clouds some 60% of the time. But I know it’s there as is the rest of the Presidential Range, and their being there lends a feeling of security to the whole area we call Mt. Washington Valley.

Security and yet mystery as well. Each person who visits the White Mountains comes away with their own story. They say the spirits of the ones who don’t come back inhabit a back bedroom in the Yankee Building on top of Mt. Washington. There’s a bible on a table there and sometimes it is found open, as though they had been reading passages.
