AB 10:15, 1:30 Tues-Thurs-Sat-Sun
CH 9:45, 1:00 Mon-Wed-Fri
Wolfeboro 11:00, 2:30 every day
That 3:30 didn't officially stop anywhere to the best of my knowledge, but maybe it did and wasn't listed. And the second stop was only for high summer - May, early June, September to Columbus Day only had that first cruise of the day.
Being right in between Locke's and Ellacoya, we could see every leg of its trip and you had to call out "Mount 1" if you saw it first. And we were on the beach all day all summer if it wasn't raining. I had thousands of "Mount 1's"
Man, do I miss it (this schedule)(and being a kid)

LSP still calls Mount 1. We used to have it all the way around the park, man, there were times that number got high depending on who was down at the beaches that day. I do remember that once the adults saw the Mount come around Governor's Island in the afternoon, they would all go back to camp because it was time for a beer/drink. Now I am torn on when I can start drinking
