Well, it's October and time to travel again. Actually this idea was hatched about five years ago by Cory Flummerfelt and Jeff Carpenter-I was just an innocent bystander, when they began talking aboutЧитать далее

After a stop in Minneapolis (having enjoyed a flight with singing Mennonites), and a four hour layover in Amsterdam, we arrived safely at the Kilimanjaro International Airport. We got in at about 8pm,Читать далее

I slept like a rock last night. I think it was sheer exhaustion after being awake for 30 hours straight. We got up around 8 and had breakfast at the hotel. We were slowly joined by the other membersЧитать далее

We were having breakfast at the hotel, when we noticed the peak of Kilimanjaro right out our window. It looks really big. Just a note to self. After breakfast, we loaded into a 6-wheel vehicle, withЧитать далее

We walked from one side of the Shira Plateau to the other today. Somewhere between 6-7 hours. We saw a couple being evacuated from the mountain, which gave me an uneasy feeling. When we got into MoirЧитать далее

Today was supposed to be shorter (3 hours) and somehow I equated that to easier. We climbed up from Shira camp, then it flattened for a while. We again climbed into the alpine desert and walked up toЧитать далее

We got out of camp around 9am and worked our way out of the Lava Tower area to the Barranco Wall. The fog had set in, so we couldn't see what was ahead. That was a good thing. The Wall required someЧитать далее

The peak of Kilimanjaro seemed so close this morning. It was a beautiful sight to awaken the tired soul of this hiker. It is getting cold in the mornings and harder to get out of bed, especiallyЧитать далее

The wind did not relent and was blowing hard when we woke. The climb today is basically straight up from 15K to 18,500, then we go into the crater. It was very difficult hiking, as the wind wouldЧитать далее
