Pinkham Notch, NH—After his ascent of Mt. Washington on July 8,
2009, Josh the Camel received a special Certificate of Appreciation
from U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen.
On Wednesday, July 8, Josh became the first camel to ever ascend
Mt. Washington. Josh and his entourage, which included a dog, two
horses and two humans, took five and a half hours to reach the
summit of the Northeast’s highest peak via the Mt. Washington Auto
Road.
Senator Shaheen presented Certificate of Appreciation to Josh, which
reads:
In appreciation of your hard work and dedication.
U.S. Senator Jeanne Shaheen
Presents this certificate to
Josh the Camel
On being the first Dromedary to scale Mt. Washington
The certificate includes the Senator’s signature and the official seal of
the United States Senate. Along with this honor from the Senator, he
also received a “This Camel Climbed Mt. Washington” bumper sticker.
Josh was not immediately available for comment, but members of his
entourage report he has recently only been requesting the highest
quality feed and not sharing any of it. Apparently, his success has
gone to his hump…er, head.
The Mt. Washington Auto Road is open daily to cars, not camels. For
