Today the Earthquake Lake Visitor’s Center re-opened to the public. I worked with Jane Ruchman for the USFS to do the finishing work on panels which are on the walls of the center. We were invited to the VIP event and ribbon cutting ceremony for the center. It was a great time, and so fun to see my work in such an amazing place. I’ve never been to Earthquake Lake before, but I’ll definitely be taking my kids. A herd of elk, a bald eagle, and a mountain goat all gave the event a look while we were there. You can’t ask for a better day!
Thanks so much to Jane and the USFS for trusting us to be a part of your work.
