Set 02 of Dorothy's Winter
Wonderland
Bob Jensen at
Trinity University
When Erika and I retired in the
White Mountains of New Hampshire in 2006 we needed various kinds of work
done inside and outside our cottage
Our new acquaintances told us that the best worker in New England was a woman
named Dorothy
They were absolutely correct
You can read my introduction to
Dorothy in Set 01 of her Winter Wonderland
http://www.cs.trinity.edu/rjensen/Tidbits/Dorothy/Set01/Set01.htm
Dorothy sometimes hikes and
climbs with companions who take the photographs
In winter Dorothy hikes and climbs mountains wearing snowshoes
She's becoming a hiking and climbing legend in these parts
Most of the photographs Dorothy forwarded to me were taken by climbing companion
Bill Fratis
Other companions who take her pictures on hikes in these mountains are
Eric Cafazzo, Al Parzych, Rachel Bal
I first featured my
photographs of Dorothy building a very long rock fence

About 28 miles visible from my
desk is the highest mountain in New England
It's called Mt. Washington in the
Presidential Range of the
White Mountains of New Hampshire
Mt. Washington is noted for having some of highest winds and worst recorded
weather on earth ---

The winds often above 100 mph would blow the snow off Mt. Washington if the snow was not embedded in ice
The
Appalachian Trail runs along the top of the
Presidential Range
Above timberline rocks are piled up to mark the trail
Here's a long list of the people who died along the
Presidential Range

The Cog Railroad to the summit of Mt. Washington does not run in the winter

Hut on Mt.
Monroe in the Presidential Range
Mt. Washington's weather towers are visible in the background
At the base of Mt. Washington Crawford Notch, begins across from the Twin Mountain Range visible about 20 miles from our cottage
The pictures below were taken on a winter wonderland hike's peaceful climb up Twin Mountain
In the next edition of Tidbits I will feature Dorothy's winter wonderland climb up Cannon Mountain
