The Flume is a crack in a rock that is craved out by water and it means river in French. The reason why it is called the flume is the people who had mill made Flumes to transports water to their mills to make power for them when people saw the Flume they thought that it look like a Flume. So, they named the Flume. The Flume happened because the schist cracked during a uplift of some sort. Then the crack was filled in with lava during a lava flow. The rocks name is Basalt. When the glacier came thought and craved the Basalt out because there was high pressured water under the glacier.
We also when to the COG Railway. This is the first railway to climb up a mountain. The COG Railway goes up Mount Washington. Mount Washington is the place with the highest wind speed in the world recorded by a man. It is also the highest mountain in the Northeast. The reason the Cog Railway is called that is because on each of the trains and cars there are cogs, the cogs are like gears but with one really long cog that goes up the mountains.
