Vulcano di Monte Busca

We did the 50 km trek for the second year in a row yesterday: five peaks, four valleys, and Jungian discussions. Here are some photos and one video from the journey.

Trailhead at 0720.

First peak.

Second peak. Not an elevation issue, but one involving rather ridiculous trail/road grades. My trusty Irish hiking stick Minerva kept me steady.

Third peak. Still a shady political operative.

Sixteen miles down, sixteen to go. Click here for info about the site.

A sad moment. These boots have been retired.

Finito. Celebrated with a cheeseburger, fries, and two glasses of red wine.
