Default Mount One!

More than 20 years ago, an older gentleman that lives on Long Beach at Lake Shore Park, used to shout out Mount One! every time the the Mount came into view.. (even if it was just a speck coming into the Broads). It caught on with everyone who was at the beach and became a fun game for all the kids, and adults at the beach. If you happen to be on the beach.. someone will still yell Mount One!... more than 20 years later.

In our family, we expanded the contest to any time you see the Mount... driving into the weirs, going by the Scenic drive on RT 11, or out on the lake in the boat. The game is to be the first to spot her.... silly, but it has become tradition in our family.

Great Topic...
