Mt. Moosilauke (1935) - Winter Cabin
". . . Opening up in June was a major production. We had an extra crew of four or five for the first week. Even so we worked steadily from sunrise to sunset sometimes not even bothering about lunch. The wear and tear of a six month winter on top of a forty-eight hundred foot mountain was considerable. There was a one-room Winter Cabin a couple hundred feet from the Summit Camp where we stayed while we worked on the big house. It smelled and sweated with condensation when it was warmed up. Even so we affectionately referred to it as "the good old stinko dripo Winter Cabin. . . ."
