在New Hampshire的白山有一片总统山脉，由13个山峰组成，9座山海拔超过4000英尺，其中7座山峰命名为总统的名字：Mount Washington， Mount Adams， Mount，Jefferson，Mount Madison, Mount Monroe, Mount Franklin， Mount Eisenhower。
上个月Memorial Day长周末和LP到白山爬山。5月28日开车到达白山已经过了中午，决定到华盛顿山去。1784年Reverend Jeremy Belknap首先记录了华盛顿山峰。华盛顿山海拔6228英尺（1917米），是密西西比河以东最高的山峰。以风大，气候恶劣多变著名。不到山顶上很难想象狂风像脱缰的野马，冰雨刺骨撕心裂肺之寒冷。

狂风极其狂烈，夹着冰雨，还有冰粒打得脸生疼，3米就看不见了
拼死也得到山顶处，根本无法站得稳，眼睛也睁不开，冷的瑟瑟发抖
终于到了山顶，可是视野只有3米，什么也看不见。
晴天可以看到波士顿，介绍说甚至可以看到纽约。
只能下山了

要走了，山下雨停了。
第二天是一个风和日丽的好天气，我还感觉有个遗憾，一是应该爬上山去，二是一览众山小，远眺波士顿。

LP说，开车的道路很险，有的就在悬崖边上。

还是别开车上，太刺激，还是火车安全，和轨道有齿轮啮合，看着就踏实。
