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)

You are obviously younger than I am. I remember the Mount coming down to Alton Bay every day. Not just a few times a week. We could hear her engine long before we saw her and would run down to the dock to watch her as she glided by. Now, she does not come to Alton Bay at all and that is a very sad thing. Times change and not always for the better.
