- I do not encourage anyone to enter culverts, unclog anything, or enter flooded areas as it can easily become deadly without the proper training
I unclog drains for fun in my spare time (I have been trained in culvert inspections for years with private co.) and I am osha trained.
Exploring anything abandoned can be dangerous or deadly without experience. I don't encourage anyone to enter any abandoned structures. Not only is safety a concern, but often times its illegal, and when possible I seek out permission from the owner or local police. I simply go to document its history before it's gone forever and I leave things the way I find them. I only take pictures and only leave footprints. I assume all the risks and responsibility before doing this. Please don't attempt to do this on your own. There could be nails, asbestos, falling concrete, soft floors, animals, or other hazards. Thanks for watching.

Thanks my friend. Here I goooooo! ✌🏻🤍
When I was small my stepdad took us on a trip to Colorado and we went up Pikes Peak,ever since then I fell in love with Colorado,i even seen the football stadium,but yeah the roads in Pikes Peak are like that,but Pikes Peak is way taller than this mountain,I think Pikes Peak is like 14,000 feet.
It was in Denver
It’s been decades since I went up the Mount Washington Auto Road. It is a terrifying and stunningly beautiful experience.
Thank you for allowing me to relive the beauty without the scary! 🤗
We all owe you $20. Thanks for the tour. This was awesome.
its 60 to go up lmao
@@jakeszmyt3883 Right but it’s +$20 for an additional adult…
@@jakeszmyt3883sounds steep 😂
@@davidhibbs6989only if you have it walk it 😂❤
It's $300 to replace the brakes after you come down...
As a teenager our family summited Mt. Washington on all three modes of transport; auto road, hiking and cog railway. My Dad and I hiked the AT and stayed in the Presidential Range huts. Stared off in the Dolly Copp campground and spent a week on the summits. I am 63 and I’ll never forget that trip.
I’ve hiked up twice. I’m just behind you in age and I to will remember those experiences for the rest of my days.
What an awesome way to end my day. I had to give up driving due to vision loss and I really miss traveling. Thank you for taking us along with you! ❤️
That’s my worst fear. Driving is the only thing I enjoy in my life. I’m 26 already have horrible night vision and serious deterioration in the past few years
@@dackbowland1876I'm sorry you're dealing with that. ❤️ Can anything be done? Mine is autoimmune and the only thing they could offer (aside from 'nothing can be done', ha) was drugs that shut off my immune system. I said no thank you. My immune system doesn't need help to be dysfunctional, lol.
I'm so sorry to hear that. I am glad you enjoy these videos, I do too. Take care of yourself.
Weird worst fear. Toughen up @@dackbowland1876
My father led climbing tours up this mountain during his summer breaks in
College and we went up in a provided car with driver in 1953 when the road was gravel! I closed my eyes half the time….THANK YOU FOR DOING THIS…..IT BROUGHT BACK MANY MEMORIES,
If you do any more of these drives, it might be interesting to have Camera 2 as an inlay (like you do on your clearance videos) with it pointing out over the view in a side window or mounted on the roof.
Oh no ❤ I already find myself pulling back watching a video that shows over an edge 😂❤
I'm a 3-time visitor to the summit of Mt. Washington, twice by auto and once by Cog Railway. The first auto trip was with my dad in the early 60's as a passenger in his 1960 VW Beatle. The aircooled engine meant never having to worry about overheating! The second auto trip in the early 70's was a bit more of an adventure. Driving my future wife, my brakes faded on the trip down. The only way I was able to stop was by rolling up a short incline at a turnout on the opposite side of the road. The two German hikers we had given a ride to probably wished they hiked down instead!
What a fantastic trip to share with the world! I am a very nervous driver and I don't think I'd enjoy that road even with someone else driving, but to see the whole trip as if I was there in the car was just wonderful.
I loved driving up the mountain with you…who said you can’t go on an adventure from your living room…thanks I enjoyed it!!
Wow BeUtiful. So enjoyed our trip. Glad I wasn't driving. Lol. Never had an opportunity to do anything like this when young and now I'm 79 so it is so amazing to be able to travel with you. Thank you so much
I love your driving videos mainly because you are such a good driver and don't throw the car all over the road!😱 Thanks Post10 for taking us along with you!🙏💕
There’s a scenic highway like this in Oregon that leads to a huge lava field. Going down is more terrifying than going up, especially when you suddenly meet a large RV coming around a blind corner.
Oregon is an amazing, earthly state! Blancolirio Channel just covered a plane festival there, showing the museum and parts of the airshows. 🥰
@@terracottaneemtree6697 I follow Blancolirio’s channel, and somehow missed all that! Just started watching his vid of the Hood River Museum….those are some amazing planes, and some classic old cars, too! 🥰
Mt Hood Oregon. Check out Timberline Lodge built during WPA. Ntnl Park.
Sitting in my Living Room, it’s a little scary.
Nope, no way for this Jersey Girl.
I’ve driven up Mt Washington auto road at least 6 times. So beautiful! Thank you for showing us.
I visited Mount Washington some 34 years ago as a graduation 🎓 present 🎁 when I graduated from college. This was my childhood dream to visit Mount Washington. Absolutely breathtaking. 👌
I really enjoyed this! My husband and I drove this road 2 times in the past. The road has definitely improved now. Back then, there were a few sections of dirt road that was crumbling away and super scary to pass a vehicle. With my husbands driving, I was terrified! lol! I have to say....just watching this video gave me anxiety again! I hate heights, but it was so worth it! It is beautiful!! Thanks for taking me back to Mt. Washington while in the safety of my home!! Also....I'm glad to see that they still at least give you a bumper sticker! They also used to give you a CD to play on the way up explaining the history of Mt. Washington.
Back in the 80's my husband was driving and I had such a grip on the door handle, my hand didn't want to release when we got to the top. So scary looking down the side of that mountain when making way for the downhill traffic.
@@judil3294oh I've been on some door handle roads in AZ, once it was because I was ready to jump out if the front tire hit the edge, not fun except with the rose colored memory glasses lol!
I was surprised to see paved road all the way up, too. He was so lucky to not have 50-80 mph winds!!
Cool, my 9 year old daughter and I love your video's! We have been watching all the older vids of you camping in culverts. Tents, and even pallets! Now time to watch this video! Thank you Post 10!
Hey post10. My husband and I watch you all the time. Sometimes we binge watch your videos. You’re an inspiration to others. Love from your friends Reed&Pam from West Virginia ❤
Ooo I transferred you tube to my I pad. It’s a whole new experience not squinting on the iPhone 😊
I love the sign at the start:
"Attention. The Mt. Washington Auto Road is a steep, narrow mountain road without guardrails. If you have a fear of heights, you may not appreciate this driving experience."
Thanks for sharing Post! That was probably a vacation trip I would never have thought of, that was great!
As always, I❤Post10!
We have done that trip before and it was pretty exciting going up the unpaved parts. Looking forward to watching this now!
That is really a place worth to go to and see, even by train. Thanks for taking us there.
Absolutely breathtaking and scary at the same time! Thanks for the ride! Another great journey Post ❤
Hi Post. I’ve traveled with you to walk through tunnels, culverts and even some places that were pretty claustrophobic. We’ve been hip deep in mud and beavers to clean or try to make a dent in blockages. Heck, I’ve even spent the night in a culvert with deep snow on each end. So this should have been a cinch. But because I have true fear of heights, I was really kind of glad you had only the camera pointing forward, rather than down the slopes. However, the trip back down isn’t something that I can do with you Post, especially after your phone holder broke and I thought we were taking flight. Be safe and I’ll see you on the next water adventure. The mountains, while beautiful, just aren’t for this Acrophobic. Thanks for another great video. ✌🏻🤍
Thanks, that was very relaxing and enjoyable. I liked how you talked softly as you narrated this video.😊
Thank you for this video. Used to live in NH and love seeing this!
Hi Post 10!! Now I’m off to watch your video 😊!
Thank you for a superb video! I'm from Colorado Springs and understandably, I see many parallels to Pike's Peak. The highway on Pike's is a little hairier but I was pleasantly surprised Mt. Washington ain't a walk in the park. Weatherwise, you have us beat and I wouldn't want to test Washington in inclement weather and especially during the winter. I've not been to the top of the Peak in a few years and have yet to savor the new summit house. Thanks again!
Thank you for this! My buddy and I are planning on doing this in a couple of weeks, and I can hardly wait!
Wowser what beautiful scenery.
the coldest wind chill ever recorded, minus 108 degrees Fahrenheit, was set at the summit of Mount Washington in New Hampshire,
I was on the cog railway at pikes peak Colorado. It was awesome. ROCK ON!
We've been up 3 times in early 1990's, bringing friends up to the summit. We rec'd a packet with instructions to travel up the mnt. It was a gravel road, cars going down had to stop to let car going up pass safely, we had to turn our heat on to keep car from overheating and a warning NOT to put that cold mnt water on your brakes. You'd be surprised how many people did it anyway....cracked the brakes. 😅. We also got the bumper sticker in our packet. THANK YOU FOR TAKING US ALONG. It also cost us $10.00 for car and driver and either 3 or 5 (I can't 😊remember) for each passenger.
I rode up the auto road on my motorcycle with my wife back in the mid seventies. It was mostly gravel then and was a bit difficult to get traction in some spots. The sky was clear when we got to the top but a large cloud quickly enveloped the area. You could barely see more than a few feet. Had to wait awhile before it was clear enough to head back down.
Thank you so much for this beautiful trip! I don't think I could do it personally, and no one I know would do it either, so I'm grateful to you for your adventurous spirit. Maybe I would be able to tolerate the train, but the car ride would be too much.
I've gotta say Post, you definitely go to some cool places! ... Post10 inspired bucket list: Niagara Falls ✔️ ~ Mt.Washington next!! 😉
Hey, Post. I enjoyed this immensely. For me, this was like driving Upstate New York beyond the Hudson Valley and the Adirondack's. Ok, Post, I'm going to get some sleep 😴, this ride has me exhausted and I wasn't driving. 😊✌🏽
Just Wow. Autumn version next. Love ya Post10! ❣️🍀
I really miss The Old Man Of The Mountain. However NH has a great show of the foliage change. Fall time is a great time to take a ride thru on a sunny day. Thank you for showing off our beautiful state.
Very scary scary stuff for someone like me who is terrified of heights, but it was also very beautiful! Very cool video Post 10 , awesome idea!
Same with the heights
Yep. Legs are quivering just watching the road lol
it was interesting, and enjoyable....thanks for the trip up the mtn....beautiful
WOW! Absolutely gorgeous. If you ever want a travel buddy, this grandma is ready.
I have vacationed in the White Mountains several times but never went up Mt. Washington. Thanks for the ride!
Great vid! I live in NH and haven't driven the Auto Road in about 20 years. Thanks for posting that! The best ride is on a motorcycle!
Thank You for this never before seen by me area of our country - beautiful yet scary . I have been up Pikes Peak in a car, but this was different.
Thanks for the ride-along, I thoroughly enjoyed it!.
Beautiful mountains and clouds! Thank you Post for the ride.
Nice video of our iconic Mt Washington auto road! Last time we went up many years ago, it was August, we were on motorcycles, it was in the 80’s at the base. Luckily, the ski shop down the road was having a huge sale and we had purchased snow clothes… we needed them… it was snowing half way up, and the top of the mountain was a blizzard! It was a bit terrifying on the bike, but an amazing adventure!
My sister just did this about two months ago. The new paved roads are super nice, but the new super expensive entry cost is not.
At 42.42 that cloud shadow, looked like a bear. Very cool. Very nice ride-a-long. Thanks for the video.
New paved roads up New England's highest mountain don't show up for free, someone has to pay for them. Both the Auto Road and the Cog Railroad are for-profit private companies, they are not a municipal service paid for by New Hampshire. If you think the Auto Road is pricey, how about $100 per seat on the Cog Railway!?
You picked the perfect weather for this trip. I went up Pikes Peak on the cog RR. This reminds me of that, except when you are on top of Pikes Peak, it’s so high you can’t get Oxygen and it’s always snowy and cold. Funny, I lived an hour or two away from Mt Washington but never got there. Mt. Greylock was the best we could do. 😂 Thanks for the trip!
Thanks for taking us on this trip with you.
My parents and I ascended Mount Washington via the cog railway in 1986. My dad thought the road trip would be too hard on our car. He was probably right. He was right about a lot of things as was my mom. I sure miss them both.
We stood right in front of our TV and it was just like being in the truck with you! Awesome!
That was breathtaking beautiful and fearful all in one video!! Thank you that was fantastic!!
Beautiful scenery thanks for sharing!
I’d have a panic attack going up those steep a@# roads on that mountain!!! 😶🌫️😬
Thankyou for taking us along. I never got to do that when we lived in Conway NH. 😊
I’m looking forward to the ride.
We haven't done this since our kids were young. Now have 6 grandchildren. 😀😀
Oh heck no on that road! 😮
Thank you for reigniting some memories. I took my mom to the top back in the mid nineties. She left this world August 8th, 2023. R.I.P mom.
I've been up there a handful of times and it doesn't get old, but I do! Travis Pastrana has done this as well, but in a whole different fashion... Go ahead and smash that like button for this guy posting this great opportunity for you all to see! 👊
Imagine being a passenger with Travis, I'd need a diaper.
I think next you should do Pikes Peak in Colorado. I drove that in 1972 in a Volkswagen, right out of high school.
I love the singing bridge! We drove over one all the time when I was a kid 😊 because it was a long one that went over a river and it’s in KCK.
Great video!!! Thank you so much! I am very interested in having my husband drive us up this road/mountain when we visit the New England states. My husband, kids and I did Pikes Peak last year and let's just say my husband was ready to leave me on the side of the road once we got past the tree-line (scared is not a good enough word). lol. It was good to watch your video because I like to know what I am in for! Thank you!
This was really great. I lived in Connecticut for a while but never took the opportunity to visit mt Washington. Thanks for sharing, really enjoyed it!
For elevation you can also use the GPS function on your mobile phone.
We drove up in 1990 with our kids in a conversion van, it was 92 degrees at the base, it was in the 40’s at the top, windy and very cold. We were all in shorts and t shirts…. Harrowing ride for me being scared of heights! If we go again will have to be on the Cog Railway or the Vans….
They charge per person in the car but you managed to smuggle thousands past the checkpoint without them knowing thanks for the free trip
That is so fun , a little scary on the edge, it was summer at the bottom and snow at the top.
I enjoyed this. Always afraid to do it and still won’t. Glad I got the experience without having to do it. It’s like driving up into heaven. Thx
absolutely beautiful. thank you
18:53 That is goldenrod which gets a bad rap for being an allergen. Ragweed is pollenated by wind, goldenrod is pollenated by insects. People can claim goldenrod allergies but unless they in the center of a patch huffing at the flowers they're blaming the wrong plant. Tree pollen in the spring, ragweed in the mid to late summer in my part of the USA.
The first time I drove up Pikes Peak I white knuckled it when we got above the tree line. In a few places it was so steep you couldn't see the clif edge only space. Lol.
I love watching your videos!!
Wow! So beautiful. That drive is scary lol...Looking to move to NH in May. , can't wait.
I am so looking forward to viewing this video.
I hope you had a great day today Post X.
Thank you!
Thank you, I really enjoyed the trip, amazing😊❤
This brings me home! Thank you!!
Wow, Post. Thanks for taking us along, so many beautiful sights on this trip. Loved it.
This is the best video you've done. I live in Hamilton Ontario but when I was a kid, my parents took us to the Wildcat Mountains and I believe we went on the gondola ride. I wonder if they still have it. We got to explore all down the Eastern states and right down to Florida - Ocean was always included. Thanks for such a great video.
Yes, they still have the gondola on Wildcat, it's how you get to the top for skiing. They run it in a limited capacity during the summer as well.
Thank you for that beautiful trip. That will be the closest I get to going up a mountain. I enjoyed that even the parts where there is straight down a foot away from you. I enjoy your videos.
Up in my neck of the woods 👍
I have land 1 hr away from there beautiful area 👏🏼
Awesome video thank you for taking us along for the ride.
Gosh looks different than I remember yeah these 40plus years ago when I went up there. What a beautiful place. NH is the best state hands down e
Thank you for this great ride. Drove the road in 1972 and 1996.
I will go up and down with you as I have lost my nerve to do it by myself again! I wish you safe travels.
My fear of heights says no to this video, my anxiety can't handle this lol........but love watching someone else do it
If you ever have to refill your radiator at those springs make sure to let the engine cool down first. I nearly ruined an engine learning that tip.
Definitely, a very nice view!!! Another interesting episode ❤❤❤
Have you thought of syncing and audio .mp3 of your voice (maybe in a shirt pocket) up with the truck camera? Then you can swap ot audio to eliminate low frequency truck noise. Or maybe, use a compressor for your voice. The road noise is quite loud on this trip. Great view, though!
Hey Post, another great video. If you're looking for a great phone holder I'd suggest looking into the QuadLock cases and mounts. I've been using one on my motorcycle for two summers now and it's the best mount I've seen, super secure and very durable. Anyways, keep up the great content!
Oh I gotta check those out... I need a good phone mount for my mountain bike. Thanks for the recommendation 😀
Wow what a spectacular view, ty for sharing ❤❤❤❤❤
We had a 64 Belair wagon went the mountain. was never the same afterward
What an incredible road …. WOW !!! I had to keep telling myself ‘He made it, it’s okay, he down loaded the video’ ! Fantastic journey today Post10!!!
Thanks Post, my sister made it there. Got there by you. Beautiful, awesome scenery! No hanging on to the sidearms going down! 👍👍
I did this hike many moons ago, up tuckerman's ravine, I think across the street is a hiking trail called imp mountain trail I did that one many times at the top you can see the smoke from the train on the other side , but that was long ago , enjoy of you hike it 👍
Great video, that fool on that motorcycle almost struck your vehicle, geewhizz.
I've never driven this road, but I have hiked the mountain seven times and did the Cog Railway once. A yearly pilgrimmage when I was in my 20s.
Being there. Loved it, except coming down. Very windy
