Photos from Enrico's trip

I may have mentioned once or twice or fifty times that Enrico has been out of town while I was here enduring many travails and surrealities. He was on a week-long trail maintenance "volunteer vacation" with the Washington Trails Association. The damage to trails, roads and bridges is absolutely astonishing from our December storm (which I may have also reference, um, once or twice or sixty times). Enrico was doing his bit to help out. He likes hard work and time out in the woods, so it's the perfect fit for him. They drove to Lake Chelan, took the forest service boat across the lake, hiked in a few miles, and had their food brought in by llamas. Then they spent every day clearing fallen trees and brush from the trail.

He took some great photos - something for everyone, where your taste runs to mountain vistas, flowers, llamas, or butterflies on dead animal carcasses (I'm not making that up). Check it out at Flickr.
