Sep. 15 - 1920 Wednesday. In the morning walked out to Briston Brooks and sat in a while on the porch of the great Mount Bath- ington Hotel. What a great hotel this is, and what lux- ury can be had here. They house one 600 people and more for than eleven dollars per day. A New Yorker built it for two million dollars and what a nice it has a direct. One can have a fine view of the Presidential Range when it is not covered by mist. But this morning. The view up the valley is clear sweeping and at the crotch one sees the Crawford House. Walked back out to the Crawford House at 1:45. Since then the morning walked nine miles. After dinner the sun began to pop through the mist and by 3 P.M. all is clear. Tried hard to get a view of the Presidential Range along the railway out to Briston Brooks but failed to see more than here and then a coat try through the forest.
