Oh the memories come flooding back, my daughter was 2 years old. It was so windy she kept falling down. Had to hold on to her. Going down we had to pull over to cool the brakes down. What an experience. Thanks for the memories Robert.
We took a trip up Mt Washington many years ago in the fall on a 60 degree day. By the time we arrived at the start of the cog railway it was a blizzard with 6" of snow on the ground already. We were not prepared for that kind of weather. Not much choice but drive back down. Thanks for sharing the journey. Now I see what we missed.
Went to New Hampshire twice while vacationing with my parents in 1981 and 1985. At 10 years old in 81 my dad, my younger brother, and myself climbed Mt. Kearsarge, took quite a while. We also visited Ruggles Mine both times. We thought about driving up Mt. Washington but never made it there, also saw The Old Man in The Mountain, from what I've heard he finally fell even after they attempted to prop him up. I really would love to get back out there someday, although I'm way too out of shape and much older to climb Mt. Kearsarge.
If you enjoyed the drive and cog rail at Mt. Washington, the next time you’re traveling through Colorado, you should drive or cog rail your way up Pikes Peak just west of Colorado Springs. (I’m logged in under my wife’s name, my name is Junior not Sarah. I love watching your videos, I get up early every Sunday morning and watch your newest video before church).
Nice video, you hit it out of the park with this one. Really enjoyed. I was at the base of Mt. Washington in 2005 and forgot how beautiful it is in the fall. Thank you!
Love your site Robert, you’ve got a great voice , lots of talent! I’m watching this as you are in Benson. I’ve lived in Az since I was 11, moved from Northern Ca. Maybe i’m a little biased. But I truly think that California, particularly The Sierra mountains is one of the most magnificent places in the World. Even though California is the place of my birth, I still feel that California can hold its own with anywhere in the world! when you entered az and were in such awe, i had to wonder what you were seeing that I wasn’t, I do not like the dessert really. it looks like dirt, dust and weeds, and I’m very allergic to the weeds that show up around sept. But I love watching your stuff,thanks for helping everyone see the good ole US of A!
The locomotives were fascinating and spectacular views! Always another great video. This definitely will be added to my list. Thank you for having us with you. See you on the road. 😊🤟🏻
Great times, beautiful place!! And, obviously as a, as two people who like to travel around ourselves a lot, I think the Earth is a beautiful place. And, we're looking forward to some new perspectives.
Oh wow. The visuals are quite amazing. I've been to the Mt. Washington area before but I could never get a ticket to take the cog rail line or access the road up to the summit. My mistake was going on a weekend during the peak fall season in that region. Looks like you beat the crowds or at least went on a weekday. Anyway thanks for another great video.
As an avid hiker, after the last weeks and this weeks episodes, i just added a few items on my bucket list, exactly the kind of nature I love, thank you for bringing us these insights Robert.
Hello Traveling Robert😊😊🎸🎸🎵🎵🍔🍔🍕🍕🍕, isn't Mount Washington SPECTACULAR??!! Ohhh yeahhh😊😊😊! I have never been up the Cog Railway but have been up the Auto Road 3 times. I'm going to do the Cog Railway this summer. I can't wait to see your next video of scenic drives on the Kancamagus Highway and such beautiful waterfalls such as Sabbaday Falls and the Lower Falls area. I really enjoy covered bridges too. Amazing video footage Robert👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍!
I really liked today’s vlog. It was beautiful on the mountain. I am going to watch the video again. Have you been to Pike’s peak? I was in Colorado Springs years ago, but didn’t get to go on the railroad to the peak. I am adding Mt. Washington to my bucket list!
One of my favorite places... These last few New England videos have brought so much joy. We watched your VT videos yet again last nt lol... Thank u & happy travels! ✌ 💘 🏕😍
What a great video. I’ve driven up Mount Washington in my car and a couple of times on motorcycles. Great ride. Great view. Looking forward to your next episode with mountain monadnock which I’ve been up many times. Thanks again. Sam in New Hampshire.
You're lucky that it was clear on the mountaintop. I've been on Clingmans Dome in Tennessee a number of times and it was clear only a few times. You have to use the pictures they post on the top of the observatory that shows you what you would be seeing if you could see anything. 😁
The leaves are still gorgeous with color, so it's surprising and disappointing that camping season ends the day after your filming. Seems there would be a couple weeks more.
Hopefully since you go off the road and hike around in off the path areas you have good tires and some extra gear incase you get stranded because of a blowout. I live by mountains and its always a place where rvs, semis and cars have very heavy blowouts
Absolutely stunning up there. On my nomad travels I still have yet to make it up to the Northeast. This summer I may finally make it. I have been shocked though at you having to pay just to drive on all these roads. I've never seen that before. Especially at the prices they are charging, crazy! Nevertheless it was extremely beautiful. Thanks for sharing this
Robert I'm surprised that with your curiosity about how things work you did not give an explanation of how the "Cog" actually works as opposed to a normal train. I am also surprised that no one so far has asked in the "comments" either. After all, the emphasis in this whole video was on 'The Cog"! I will leave it up to you to explain!
I drive a motorhome, so I have an excuse to take the Cog Steam Railway! Thanks for the heads up on booking early. 😂 Wouldn’t it be a hoot to be a meteorologist and stay up there all winter? 😳
Dear Robert, watching this video I have to thank you for doing such a great job of capturing the beauty on film. However, to the viewers who have not had the fortune of being in New Hampshire I have to say that this video (and no other video, for that matter) does not do justice to the actual beauty that can only be seen/felt in person (I think you'll agree and not take this as a comment against your filming and narrating skills). Just a couple notes to viewers who are now considering visiting and experiencing this for themselves. If it is a choice/option at all, do this trip in a manual transmission car or at least in a traditional automatic. CVT equipped cars are not ideal for going up and down the road. You DO NEED fixed low gearing for this task (don't mean low range transfer case, but the ability to lock yourself into 1st gear). Otherwise, you're risking burning up your brakes and possibly the CVT transmission (again, this is not simply because they tell everyone to use 1st gear, it is from experience... going up the mountain we could smell the burnt brakes. I, on the other hand, had to brake only a handful of times having the car in 1st gear and only braking when the rpms would go past 3500). The second piece of advice is more on the happy side. For breakfast, I'd recommend Eastern Depot in Gorham, just before Walmart (looks like a gas station with a shop, but that "shop" is actually the diner). For dinner I strongly recommend Red Fox Diner in Jackson NH (that's on the other side of the mountain on RT 16). There was also a pizza place on RT 2/Main st, Public House Eatery, which was also pretty good, at least the pizza that we tried (wood/coal burning oven pizza, not generic). As for the people who will do the cog train trip, I'd recommend that on the way back they stop at the "Cliff Jump", that's about 3 - 3.5 miles down the Base Station Road (counting from cog railway parking lot). The water was ice cold even in August, but we had a blast - one of the most memorable things we've done in our lifetime. Make sure to bring your swimming shorts/suits. Sorry if this went on like a rant, just trying to help new visitors with info.
Hi found your channel from RV Lifestyle. He mentioned you bought land in Florida. We too are looking into this. Can you tell me the area location or any information you may pass along. Thanks so much for sharing anything will help
Buenos días perdona que escriba en español no entiendo mucho el inglés porque tengo poco tiempo en USA me encanta mucho tu contenido y me inspire mucho tengo una van preparada pero no se cómo puedo visitar los Parking de rv me gustaría que unos de tus videos expliques incluyendo el que tú preparaste Gracias Dios los guarde tu canción tema me encanta también cuando la escucho me dan deseos de viajar pero por miedo no lo e echo
Robert that was some of your best work my friend. Thank you for taking us along for the ride. Simply Breathtaking. Safe Travels Amigo! Great pic with you and Your beautiful wife also. Thank you for all of your hard work.
Truly enjoy all the beautiful places the 2 of you go. Great narration and such a learning experience for the young and old God bless you both on your travels
Nice video and great zoom! Nice weather also! If I never get there, I've at least got to see what it's like through your video. Thank you. Now, I'm going to see what camera you used for this video.
Thank You for coming back to NH and PLEASE come back soon. What a beautiful state even in winter but, I'm bias I was born here and lived my whole life here. Hello from Goffstown, NH. You can camp year-round in the White Mtn National Forest. Just keep an eye on the weather. lol
Goooood morning Robert! Very cool to be up on top of Mt Washington with you! I really like your 360 camera work on the train. It's been 20 years since I was there and I still remember the drive down from the summit. Reminded me of a long version of Priest Grade on the way to Yosemite. Looks like you'll be visiting Franconia Notch next week? Looking forward to that!
I didn't know that New Hampshire has such beautiful scenery!🍁🌄🏞️🛤️And I agree with you on the "One step at a time"part 🥾in climbing mountains (like Mt Washington and the Appalachian mountains, for example)! Lots of commanding views!!⛰️Take care!🍷🍷🍽️🌺
I dint recall those Vista pull outs on the mountain highway in 1996. It was all dirt road back then with several water trough for those who cars over heated. Anywho lots of changes I guess...thru the years
I've done Mount Washington twice, once by car a few years back and then last year by Cog. I agree, both are worth doing. Got lucky both times and had excellent weather. As the video shows the road is very narrow, often just inches between your tire and the edge. It's something to look down while driving and see the tops of trees beneath you, and yes, clouds. As others have said: two bucket list items checked off. I think New England is the best region of the country. I'm biased, having grown up here. But where else has this combination of history, quaint towns, endless trees, lakes and rivers, coast lines, hills and mountains, weather and seasons. There's beauty around every corner. Sometimes I want to drive 30 mph or slower just so I have time to take more of it in.
Oh hi Robert , I fallow you on youtube every day from New Brunswick Canada , i love it , seen so many beautiful places in usa with you ,even when you visited OTTAWA and Quebec city , i will and always will fallow you , love it , i did go visit Clear water , St Peterburg a few times, tampa , went across and visit Fort Lauderdale , West Palm Beach , loved it .....i will continu to visit beautiful places with you , enjoing every moment of it , Thank you for you youtube chanel , and hope to see you on the road ,
If you was in that area on the first week of October you should of skipped over to maine to the Fryeburgh fair. It's a nice clean fair,with lost of exhibits and shows all week long. Its usually around the first week in October. You take Rte 302 from North Conway NH to maine and it's just across the state line.
Hot damn! My mother and I traversed some of that when I was about 10 years old... Drove to the top of Mount Washington to retrieve my stepbrothers and stepfather who had hiked up. My recall is a little hazy, as it was incredibly foggy in that drive... But I do recall my mother white knuckling it all the way up in that old for Mercury comet !! TY!
You had a beautiful day atop the Mt. Its a gamble anytime you go to the top. Fall best odds of views. A ride to NH we take often from Maine. It is a white knuckle on the dirt section descending. Footage is really Spectacular, great job👍 The Bio diesel saved you from the coal ash smell and blowing inside. Also the weather station enployees atop yhe Mt. are snowbound for weeks at a time.
What a deadly video (the word deadly in the indigenous culture in Australia has been appropriated to mean awesome, spectacular, brilliant)! These New England videos have been some of your best Captain Pelican. I also like the fact that you do not see everything which allows you to say "that gives us a reason to come back in the future." Awesome content!
Have been up Mt. Washington twice - once in a van run by a company at the base of the mountain cause I was too scared to drive it myself - and hiking up from a trail that starts at 2500 feet near the cog railway station. Like you I was lucky to have good weather both times, especially for the hike. Advice to older hikers: allow extra time for rests once you come out above tree line - for me that’s when I started to feel the effects of altitude. Some thing if you’re hiking up Mt Mitchell in NC. This year we’d like to take the cog railway.
Great to know they are harvest host. I might sign back up again. Great coverage, I now know I can’t do the drive I panic on those trips, the train it is. Thx
That was Berlin. The Smokestack from the former paper mill ( now a biomass plant) gave it away. Also the water tower in the upper right was either the state or federal prison. Great video! I drive by Washington at least five days a week, never been there.
The steam engine draining water is about to inject water into the boiler and the fireman uses the steam pressure negative, then positive to create a vacuum and push water into the boiler. I've done this DRGW K36 steam engines as a fireman. Steam pressure is needed to engage the brakes and cog for the trip down.
Oh the memories come flooding back, my daughter was 2 years old. It was so windy she kept falling down. Had to hold on to her. Going down we had to pull over to cool the brakes down. What an experience. Thanks for the memories Robert.

This was so epic…those views going down on the Cog train is so spectacular! I’m putting that on my bucket list.

We were up there Memorial Day a few years ago! -13F snowing, high winds the only way up was the train.
Beautiful
Nice Robert - up in my neck of the woods! I've hiked all of the mountains in the president range besides Washington, and the views never get old!
wow... New Hampshire seems to be more attractive then I thought :D Good stuff Robert
I recently subscribed to your channel and I really enjoy your videos I started watching the earlier ones first . Stay safe and enjoy your life.

Robert, I hope you give Maine a second chance. Lots to see in Western Maine!
I heard if you are there at sunrise, you can see the sun reflect off the Atlantic!!
You're lucky that it was clear on the mountaintop. I've been on Clingmans Dome in Tennessee a number of times and it was clear only a few times. You have to use the pictures they post on the top of the observatory that shows you what you would be seeing if you could see anything. 😁
is nice to see that you visited New Hampshire
Good episode.
great job

Nice drive up Mount Washington...but 65 bucks? Wow!
Hopefully since you go off the road and hike around in off the path areas you have good tires and some extra gear incase you get stranded because of a blowout. I live by mountains and its always a place where rvs, semis and cars have very heavy blowouts
That drive looks more intense than Beartooth Hwy, Glacier National, or Estes park drive!!??! Yikes!!! 😬
Absolutely stunning up there. On my nomad travels I still have yet to make it up to the Northeast. This summer I may finally make it. I have been shocked though at you having to pay just to drive on all these roads. I've never seen that before. Especially at the prices they are charging, crazy!

Last Saturday, staff on the mountain top, we're making snow angels. Yesterday, soaking up the sun 50% temps. Back to normal, tomorrow am. Oh, while.
Missed your chat on Friday night, hope all is well!
well done your best video

Awesome as always. I think I asked before, but what is the specific model of your 360° camera, if you don’t mind sharing?

Beautiful video but the $65 is way too steep of a price to pay to make it to the top of Mt Washington.

We bought in Taylor County, Florida, near Keaton Beach th-cam.com/video/arjlLExgPNk/w-d-xo.html th-cam.com/video/OXHkvRf1Y6w/w-d-xo.html
try out the ski resorts in north carolina. maybe work in some lessons
Mt Washington is not the highest peak east of the Mississippi, but it is the most prominent. I think that's why people mix it up
Excellent video.......very beautiful and interesting..........congrats.......Love MOM ,,,>>>
Really nice 👍
Do they allow Dually trucks on that road !
Not sure

That Sony AX53 is amazing

That biker at 17:50 is irresponsible!
Seriously! That is what I was thinking. WOW!!
👍🏻
Alot of towns and cities in New England are pronounced differently from the spelling. Gorham is actually pronounced Gore-um. I know it's odd lol.
One way to know if someone is a tourist is to hear them try and pronounce Concord, if they say "Corn cord" you know there a come here. :)
@@josephrobichaud5198 yeah it only gets worse with Mass towns and cities.
You mean like "War chester". instead of "woster" :)

Nice video, not. Far from my hometown of Alton on Lake Winnipesaukee.
so many adverts. Even between the google ones, you are plugging random guff every week.

Traveling Robert stop resisting you need to let christ into your heart and form a close personal relationship.
You’re a little young to be forgetful aren’t you ?
We love turning off the news and watching Robert. It’s great for our mental health and fun.
especially now
I've been on Mt. Washington twice. via the Cog Railroad. The wind up there is fierce, and it may have snow even in June.
The colors keep on getting better as you go along! Glad you had great weather going up the mountain! Thanks Robert!
That drive up and down the mountain was incredibly intense . 😵😬

Lucky indeed Robert. I've been up to the Mt. Washington summit twice and both times it was cold, cloudy and extraordinarily windy! Enjoyed your video.
WOW, $79.00 for an adult, I just marked the Cog railway OFF my vacation list in September! I've seen the view on TH-cam, I'm good.
The colors were amazing. Trip up the mountain by car made me nervous. Surely a white knuckle one. I’m impressed with your driving ❤

Great to know they are harvest host. I might sign back up again. Great coverage, I now know I can’t do the drive I panic on those trips, the train it is. Thx
That was Berlin. The Smokestack from the former paper mill ( now a biomass plant) gave it away. Also the water tower in the upper right was either the state or federal prison. Great video! I drive by Washington at least five days a week, never been there.
Robert! You need to do Hawaii!! Waimea canyon, the road to Hana, the drives on the big island... 😔
The steam engine draining water is about to inject water into the boiler and the fireman uses the steam pressure negative, then positive to create a vacuum and push water into the boiler. I've done this DRGW K36 steam engines as a fireman. Steam pressure is needed to engage the brakes and cog for the trip down.
Nice vlog keep it up
Thanks probably never get to see that part of the country 👍🇺🇸🇺🇸
What happened to the famous music...??? 🤔🤔🤔
