Don't these people have anything better to do???:dunce:
Poor camel.

CONWAY, N.H. (AP) -- Hikers and bikers have scaled Mount Washington, the Northeast's highest mountain. Now, it's a camel's turn.
The Sahara it's not, but Josh, a dromedary from Lempster, N.H., is attempting to walk the 7.6 mile journey on the mountain's auto road to the summit, escorted by his owner and two companion horses.
He started his trek at about 3 a.m. Wednesday. It was cloudy and rainy, but auto road marketing director Ryan Triffitt said Josh is pretty hardy.
The plan is to give Josh a head start over vehicular traffic allowed on the road starting at 7:30 a.m. Assuming Josh makes it to the top, he'll stay there during the day to pose for photos, WMWV-FM reported.

I dunno... If camels are anything like horses.. It will enjoy the day out..

It's what they do...

Shouldn't need any water carry. :razz:

Maybe it's PR for Camelback.:idea:

Attempting? More like "being forced."

Of course, it is a camel, and aside from complex mathematics, walking around is what they do. Well, they spit on things, too.

Thanks for the insight Abdul ... Allah forbid we make a beast of burden do what is raised to do... Inshalla - it will have a nice walk...

"Attempting" implies fre will. Though willful, even a camel wouldn't choose to walk up Mt Washington. Unless there were a lovely she-camel at the top. Or something to spit on. Or maybe a she-camel to spit on.

That would be a cool picture, though, a camel with those massive ice vanes that form on everything up there. With a glob of frozen camel spit hanging in mid air.

Because, you know, they spit on things.:smash:

I'm still wondering where the complex mathematics comes into it...

I could tell you, but then you'd have to buy the book.

Am I the only sick SOB who expected to see a picture of some fat chick in spandex based on the title?
