Holden Village

In early November I spent several days in Holden Village, a small Lutheran Bible Camp located in the eastern foothills of the Cascades - only accessible by a couple hour ferry ride up Lake Chelan. I was there to tour the Holden Mine Clean-up site as I'm providing technical assistance to the clean-up efforts as they relate to toxicity in the nearby Railroad Creek which is heavily contaminated by metals from the mine. The village was really sweet. I attended all the community events while I was there and even went running with a few villagers on some of the snowy mountain trails. It was a neat experience.
