Reenacting struggling against the wind for the camera
crews. |
The winds were difficult during the reenactment, but
nothing nearly as close to what it was like during Bernie's real
misadventure. |
It's hard to believe they're only about fifty feet
from the Mount Washington Observatory (MWO). Even then, it's
difficult to see. |

reenactment. |
No smiles for this candid camera. |
Hurrying the process! |

Ta-da! |
Warm inside the observatory. |
A job well done. |
Do we have to go out again?! |

While conditions were nothing like the day Dr. Dahl was lost, you
can see they were quite bad. |

Mike was the leader of the rescuers who found Bernie and saved his
life. Mike is famous for his "Just five more minutes" line --
and they found Bernie within three or four. |

production crew worked hard to stage the reenactment, which was very
successful. |
