The Glade 4.0

No, not ours!

Alan Householder has been taking a team of llamas up the Trillium Gap trail to Mount LeConte in the Great Smoky Mountains National Park for the last decade. There's a lodge on top the mountain, and there's no road, so food and linens are brought back and forth from the lodge via Householder and his llamas. Pics spoilered for tidiness...


For the last decade he's made the 13-mile round trip three miles per week. He blew out his knee in New Zealand last winter, and now he's packing it in.

Llama packer... what a wonderful job!

...but not in the way you sick bastards think. I know you guys, take something beautiful and make something disgusting out of it.
