Default The "real" Mt. Washington

This question is a tough one. By bias to the region leans towards having the lakes region be the symbol, but that is a slap to the other amazing regions in the state. So, my vote would be for Mount Washington. Not the boat, but the tallest mountain in the northeast. Here’s the thinking…. The state has seacoast, lakes and mountains, suggesting an outdoor theme should be the symbol. The old man was a great symbol, given we are called the granite state and all, but it is gone. The idea of the MS Mount Washington is interesting, but a commercial venture may not be the best and again, ignores the rest of the state. From the top of Mount Washington, you can see the lakes region and the seacoast. You can see it from many points in the state. It is made of granite. It comes with a regional “mine is bigger than yours” claim and it won’t fall down or sink.
