SARGENT'S PURCHASE — Mother Nature showed her power this week with washouts caused by flash flooding on upper portions of the 7.6-mile Mt. Washington Auto Road on Monday and an additional 16 inches of rain/snow at the summit and the upper road Wednesday.
According to the Auto Road's Facebook page, the washouts occurred 1.6 miles from the summit at the 6-Mile Mark.
