Would you want to work in a lighthouse like these?

The Mt Washington Observatory in NH is amazing. For a period each year, when the weather up there is relatively calm, they allow groups to sign up for an overnight excursion,tour their weather facility and staff quarters and learn about all the things they do up there. Oh, and meet the resident cat. There's been a cat on the mountain for many, many years (not the same cat of course) it's a tradition. Other than all the fascinating scientific stuff, you get to eat and socialize with the staff, and they tell fascinating stories and legends about the mountain.

In winter, there may be one or two excursions. you access the mountaintop on this huge SnowCat thing. But there are very stringent requirements about age, health and physical condition because it can potentially be dangerous.


I've done the one in summer, and I would LOVE to do the winter one. Maybe next year......

I have hiked Mt. Washington. It is one extraordinary experience!!!!
