Many days of 5, 6, and 7 mile practice hikes have filled the past couple months. Not really much to share except cold, cold, cold - and ice, ice, ice. But, today we leave for Africa and a trek up Mt. Kilimanjaro to the Roof of Africa at 19,300 feet. I'll have my spot tracker along so you can at least see our progress over the 8 day trek but I also hope to post a few times. This will be a much different adventure than I'm used to - porters carrying my gear, cooks making my food, even someone setting up my tent! It's weird thinking about it but I guess it is required to legally go up the mountain. Jambo! Hike On!
