Mt Washington Autoroad Drive

[@heofthesquarebum]

Treasure every minute that you get to spend with your Grandfather - you are very fortunate to have these opportunities to make memories together!

[@tonyg6103]

So true. He’s very fortunate to have his grandfather at this stage in his life. I barely knew mine - one passed when I was 10 and the other was a deadbeat dad before my time.

[@bugzptr]

Agreed, enjoy the time spent with your grandfather.

[@LisaJohnson-dx1dp]

This video is highly worthy of putting on your main channel.

[@WendyTalks]

So happy to see another vlog with your grandpa ! Love the Mount Washington scenery, but that drive would freak me out ! 😬

[@MinneemeSaoirse]

Hi Grandpa Post 10! What a great trip to take together. Does your grandpa know how much you and your videos are loved by the viewers?❤ It's sooooo green!

[@marcbeebe]

Many years ago some friends of mine had a Ford Fiesta with a bumper sticker that read "This car overheated on Mt. Washington".

[@jamesgorman2060]

Thank you Post 10. It was a nice drive with you and your grandfather. No smoke this year. Take care you two.

[@marcberm]

The next time you do a video dricing the auto road, it would be awesome to screen record a phone showing your GPS position in Maps as you make your way through the route, then putting that in the corner of the screen so you can also have the view of where you are along the road for the entire trip.

[@db.mc2]

Thanks Post! 👊🏻👍🏻 Always great to hear from you my friend 🙏🏻 Appreciate you!

[@michaeldepasquale9906]

nice to see your grandfather again. these are great memories in the making!!

[@jen8491]

I don't know how you drive this road. Especially coming back down. It is so narrow. Great video Post! Enjoy your time with your grandfather.

[@damnbadger8242]

Thx 4 the tip about this guy Travis Pastrana flying up there in record time! Enjoyed that video! And yep, you guessed the 75/73 degrees very well

[@graceangel5146]

I love all the green. It’s so beautiful there. ❤ I’m glad you can enjoy these times with your grandfather. I miss my grandparents very much. They all passed before I became an adult.

[@N8N8-yh7ws]

This is a cherished moment with your grandpa…keep such moments close to your heart, it will give you focused on what is important in your life. Thank you for sharing. The view is beautiful 😍.

[@derekeno7974]

Nice video, it's nice to have the one on one's with your grandfather, I remember mine.

[@carbonstar9091]

The Merritt Parkway bridge over the Housatonic river in CT used to be a grate bridge before they rebuilt it in the mid 2000s. Always sounded cool but it was a bit sketchy to drive on. That's the biggest grate/open bridge I've ever been on.

[@katherineroland6008]

I thought of the old Sikorsky Memorial bridge too when Post talked about grated bridges. That bridge was a trip, you could feel the car moving from side to side as the grating pattern changed. It was *not* fun in winter. 😬 Much improved these days.

[@PaulSmith-zf5pf]

Thank you for the video, brings back a lot of memories, drove up with my parents when I was in high school. Did it in 1979, 80 and in 1984 after I graduated and saw the new building.

[@TheWrena440]

I always enjoy the annual trip up Mt Washington, thanks. You'll have to do the cog railway again sometime.

[@mayhemacres725]

Your grandfather fully reminds me of my father. He isn't doing too well nowadays so no more trips for us. Enjoy him.

[@Rippypoo]

Very nice ride.

[@LindaLaLionne]

So nice place. I love thé train, so cute and it must be an epic ride going up and down. Thanks for that and a big hello to Grandfather, so important to still have him in your Life .

[@alenadoll645]

Love your drives going up Mt. Washington especially with you and your Grandfather's knowledge and love it when he laughs! Reminds me of the drives I would take with my Nana and Grandad into the mountains out here in the Cascade mountain range outside of Seattle with the dogs to place near Greenwater, WA. That's where my Grandad would get may rocks for the backyard garden. Also he got many red volcanic rocks in southwest Washington that are great for gardening as they are both porous for great drainage and heat up the dirt when the sun hits it so it was great to grow strawberries in it. We are also going through a heat wave right now and in the low to mid 90's so I understand where you are coming from. I love the PNW and cannot wait until we have some rain as we do have some forest fires. I pray we do not have as many as we did in the last few years. Hopefully you will make it to Hurricane Ridge in the Olympic National Park one day as it is so large it includes the mountain range, forest and Pacific Ocean. The road also reminds me of the drive up to Haleakalā on Maui. It also has no guardrails and you drive above the clouds. There is a hiking trail/stopping point where you can park if you need a break. The color of the mountain and the view is worth it. FYI according to an article of a person who fishes regularly in Louisiana cites from the University of Florida, deer flies are attracted to bright blue. It also says take a bright blue container and cover it with clear Tanglefoot if you are staying in an area. The flies will get stuck to container and die. My own thought is if you don't want the flies to die you can put a piece of whatever they like to eat in the blue container have a small opening to the container top. Otherwise, like in your previous video just walking away is the best bet as they will only follow you for 100 to 200 feet only a few will follow an extra 75 to 100 feet. There is an article by Again thank you for your great video, the beautiful view and drive!

هذا ممتاز جدا

[@ricj7517]

I'm so glad you are spending time with your grandpa..Enjoy and be safe guys 👍 (I remember the ski lift video with you 2..one of my favs)

[@soundrecordings2659]

I cant wait to go back in August, Great Vid! Evidently last time I went up with a sick radiator and water pump, made it home licking my wounds.

[@locouk]

Awesome, I’d love to drive that mountain! I’d have my car in 1st gear and try not to touch the brake or clutch all the way down! Edit:- I see no charge points on Mt Washington, it must really eat the battery on EV’s. I guess the regen braking helps on the way down.

[@CCServices84]

What a great ride and beautiful scenery. I’ve never been to Mt. Washington, so thanks for filming this! Next time, bring bug spray, that looked so uncomfortable! 🐞

[@briankenison7995]

Fun fact the bridge is being replaced My company is tying the rebar in it . Another fun fact My cousin Charlie ran the Cog for many many years.

[@robertdonaldson6584]

I can see Mount Washington from my cottage in Standish, on Sebago Lake, Maine, US....

[@q2l58]

thx for fixing the big noise downhill 🙃 some littel noise while driving does not matter.

[@sherrillgladman7729]

We called it the singing bridge when I was a kid

[@MinneemeSaoirse]

Definitely should post on your other channel or direct others to this channel.

[@jstmyers]

Hey Post!! Great Footage as Always!!🦫🦫

[@katherineroland6008]

Fascinating watching the tree line disappear then reappear. It’s somewhere in the 4.5-5.5 mile area. Thanks for driving Post! 😅 I’m not sure I could do it. 😬

[@nhzxboi]

Cherish the grandfather wile you can. I miss mine. That's cool you got to relate on a ride. Personally I would have chose steak over Chinese though. Lol.

[@vontar1]

Sure, be happy to come over for steak in a few hours LOL. get the smoker going again. I have a plan in place to get a similar smoker from an old water tank.

[@briankenison7995]

I like the new Chinese buffet. I'm disappointed that you can't get a scorpion bowl there. I used to cook at the Yokohama. A very long time ago.

[@melchristian8876]

👍👍

[@jopate277]

How on earth did you go from Washington State to Maine? I will always love my Tennessee. I visited many states but I still love Tennessee. There is something here for all. ❤😊love your channels. Spend time with your family because in the blink of a eye they are gone . What you will have of them will be memories,❤😊

[@ducewags]

@jopate277 When was Post in Washington State?

[@post10Vlogs]

​@ducewags This is mt washington in new hampshire, not washington state. I have been to washington state, but it's been a few years

[@ducewags]

@@post10Vlogs Clearly I know that. It was a question for the OP. My wife and I have watched all of the shows you have done. And we love them. It was great to listen to your grandfather talking.

[@DavidHuber63]

Great guess.

[@tonifromtennessee2783]

i like the stick togethwe idwa

[@LadyHeathersLair]

I get a feeling of deja vu here. Did you drive up Mt Washington before on your channel? Anyway, it’s great that your grandfather was with you. Send him my regards!

[@snowballil3133]

😀

[@hminchella7423]

Hello Post and Grandfather!

[@justin4n6]

Record interactions with your grandfather to preserve those memories and stories he has. Doesnt have to be planned just hang out and record the visit. For you to have, not to upload for content.

[@karenatha7890]

At 41:11 could be desert by the looks of it.

[@nhzxboi]

I'd be happy if there were only one way to get up that mountain: By foot. Too many fatsos and obnoxious tourists. I've done Mt Jefferson(most difficult, I think) at least 5 times and the other presidentials many times. I've done Washington twice by foot but never by vehicle. The view is just as good on Jefferson.

[@post10Vlogs]

If you want to avoid the obnoxious tourists clem the mountains starting off an hour before daylight. The last time I did Mount Washington, I started at 4 in the morning. The sun comes up around five I got to the top around seven before the road and the railroad open so had the whole place to myself

[@nhzxboi]

@@post10Vlogs Maybe sometime this coming week...Jefferson, not Washington. When the damned humidity goes down a bit. It's only a 45 minute ride/drive truck or motorcycle. The hike definitely makes me feel good and sleep good after..

[@Werewolfmage]

that is about 45 minutes from me

[@nhzxboi]

Sorta makes me wonder why Jack and Jill would climb UP a hill to fetch a pail of water. You'd think the water would be at the bottom of the hill. But then Mt Washington has a few thousand gallons of water at the top. Lol. So geared to snagging the bucks from tourists.

[@retired0307]

Post10, what would you say to a woman who fell asleep during one of your videos?

[@sargentmaxis]

what the hell is NPG

[@vontar1]

Can you take the train up and hike back down?

[@post10Vlogs]

Yes, you can. But i'm not sure if you can pay for only a one way ticket up. On the other hand I know you can pay for only a ticket down

[@vontar1]

@@post10Vlogs i am sure paying even if a round trip to go up if planning to walk down is still worth it. Both a train ride and scenic walk. I am not a hiker but at least a mostly down hill wouldn't be that bad for me. Good way to see it, with reduced effort. something I will consider next time I am in new England. I haven't been up their since the early 90s and I remember them pointing out Mt. Washington as we drove by.

[@post10Vlogs]

The easy side of the mountain has a building. You can stay Overnight with food for hikers, about two thirds of the way up. So the hikers can make the trip in multiple days​@vontar1

[@hminchella7423]

Its expensive $91 adult and $68 for 4-12 yrs with option of keeping child up to 6years on your knee. Presume that is round trip.

[@manuelfaverio1054]

Sembra una strada pericolosa sopratutto di notte
