Here's a shot from today of the Mt Washington Grand Hotel on the other side of the mountain. Pic is from Bretton Woods side. Behind it is the cog railway and home of the 53 channel 8 cat in the clouds. Last of the grands. Only a handful left. Most died due to fire.

This link brings you to a grand revival vison of lost grand hotel in New Hampshire. Very ambitious hope they pull it off: https://thebalsamsresort.com/vision/ski-expansion/

New record set up top for the date -40f.

Must be why that special heater mechanism was installed in the tucker!

Looks like the cat may have still been on the mountain in 1966. Someone posted this today.

Hope one day it looks like this again...

Little MT Washington history lesson today.

Ran into Peppersass on tour today up in NH. Ironically it was heading to Massachusetts for a marketing tour.

This machine helped build the cog railway back in the 1800's.

It keeps surfacing.

Sure looked nice it’s prime. Note the early drone photo.

Is that #26 how they numbers the units from sno cat Corp?

At this rate the missing back can pontoons and tracks could show up anytime....

I heard(herd) of a small movement pushing for restoration in the East with support from the West.

Also could be part of the strategic cat collection supply just in case.

Gregg numbered all the cats he sold, not the factory, they could have cared less, they were too busy counting their money and building the machines cheaper and charging more for them.

most importantly, without David A Gregg, there would be no tucker snow cat today, he made tucker successful...

It looks just like the junk yard pics except it runs and moves now and sits in a different state.

Plans are for it to be made whole again one day!
