For my family reunion, most of my siblings and I stayed at a chalet in Madison, New Hampshire. Very near where we were staying was this drive-up SOTA summit. I actually ended up visiting several times, and doing SOTA operations twice. The view is absolutely amazing. The day I activated this summit, I tried twice. The first one, at sunrise, was completely unsuccessful with zero contacts made. The second one, at sunset, was successful, but zero points with only three contacts made.
