Ten Years on the Rock Pile: A Collection of Stories, Some Hilarious, Some Tragic, about Life at the Summit of Mount WashingtonMount Washington, located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, is the highest peak in the northeastern United States. It is often cited by its inhabitants, no less as the home of the country's worst weather, a claim supported by the mountain's long held record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth's surface (231 mph on April 12, 1934).

Mount Washington, located in the White Mountains of New Hampshire, is the highest peak in the northeastern United States. It is often cited--by its inhabitants, no less--as the home of the country's worst weather, a claim supported by the mountain's long-held record for the highest wind gust directly measured at the Earth's surface (231 mph on April 12, 1934). As a transmitter supervisor for WMTW-TV, Lee Vincent traveled regularly to the summit of Mount Washington. Soon enough his reports from the peak began appearing in a column in a local paper--and just as quickly captivated readers near and far.
These columns--with their accounts of the everyday lives and unusual exploits of the individuals who chose, against all odds and most notions of common sense, to call Mount Washington home--are gathered in this book. As entertaining and engaging as they are informative, these reports from the summit form an invaluable record of life happily lived in extremity. Accompanied by remarkable photographs and candid snapshots, they also document the experience and insights--and after Vincent's diagnosis with a virulent form of cancer, the valiant last days--of someone who had seen the mountaintop and reported back for the edification and delight of those lucky enough to read his columns and books.

This Solenoid is an adequate OEM replacement, at an incredible, low price.
Size: PP67-712 V1
This solenoid replaced a bad 350 Chev. Mercruiser starter Solenoid. It works perfectly with only a minor, simple modification of the mounting bracket . (Hole centers were slightly off needing only 1 new hole drilled on the engine bracket only. A very easy mod.) The Solenoid body itself is an exact match for the OEM and works flawlessly at a price that is literally 10 times less than what the Manufacturer charges.
