I finally had a view from the Hump!!!

After several tries, I finally got a view from the top of Camel's Hump. Check out some of the pics I took today:

Le Lion Couchant off in the distance on the approach:

On my way up, I saw a couple of rocks. I was really lichen this rock:

If you look real close, do you see the plane in the middle of the picture?

Who can name the mountain in the distance?

Nice pix, elwood. Soon it will have :snowflakes:

Kewl pix: When you fly from BTV to ASH (nashua) you fly right by the hump. I like to stay at hump altitude as I fly by and look right over at the folks on the top.

Camels hump story: There's two distinct peeks up at the top... once we were up there and one peek was a topless peek. I wasn't allowed over there... but I brought my binoculars!

Wow. Nice pics.

What a view. Looks like a great day. Too bad no snow, but soon enough it will fall.

That's a really cool mountain. I haven't been there since I passed by on the Long Trail a few years ago, but I remember I saw what was quite possibly the best sunset of my life from the top there...

M@- You fly too? I don't actually have my pilot's license yet, but I fly with an instrument-rated friend often, usually from the left seat, and I also like flying along the ridge of the Greens; quite impressive

Beautiful pics, Elwood! I have to get up there, never been.

Yahooo...nice shots!

That would be Mansefield? Just a guess, I've not seen it from that angle before.

That would be Mansefield? Just a guess, I've not seen it from that angle before. Great shots! I agree with RR looks like Mount Mansfield/Stowe in the background.

[M@]

Closest mountain in that shot looks like bolton, with Mansfield behind it.

Nice shots.

M@ M@, you would be correct sir! Bolton is in front of Mansfield.

BG, nice pics. I especially like the Italian Polizia car.

[SkiStooge]

I like the ambulance...I bet it corners like a dream.

[TenSeven]

How would they work on somebody in the back? That's something else. Maybe it steers like a skateboard Jolly. "Everybody lean, prego!"

[Jolly J]

I have no idea, Maybe they just throw the person in the back and booter to the hospital. Beats me...

[elwood]

DRPHIDDLEPHOS:
dude we have to hit bolton this year!! i havn't been there since i was a kid!! Maybe if we go night skiing on a powder night. Otherwise, I hate Bolton. Can you say bulletproof and not steep?
