LAM News:

Late in 2012 – our winter, their summer – Momo Vuyisich of Los Alamos and his family took a month-long camping trip through Australia and New Zealand.

They drove, hiked, kayaked and flew, exploring the forests, cities, mountains and coasts of these two beautiful countries. At this evening’s meeting of the Los Alamos Mountaineers, Vuyisich will show the many photographs that he captured during the trip and describe his travel experiences in the lands of the Aussies and Kiwis.

Vuyisich is a biochemist by profession, but tries to balance his busy career with travel and adventure, which he enjoys most when with his family. He is an accomplished photographer, with his work featured at http://www.wildwestgallery.com/.

The public is welcome to attends today’s meeting in the Great Room of Fuller Lodge. The meeting starts at 7:30 p.m. (trip and event announcements, etc.), followed immediately by the program.
