Day 23: Wayne




is a volunteer who helps clear the trails in Connecticut area parks. I was at a lake, enjoying the water in what promises to be one of the last days of summer, when I returned to the parking lot and could not turn away from this beam of light dressed in hot pink. He was sitting at the edge of his car trunk, and in front of him was a huge hiking pack filled with unusual objects: saws, pickaxes...things like that. Well, and Wayne was stunning and told me all about the trails - he knew where the trees had fallen and everything.
