This is where we are heading for the first part of the trip. A five day hike to the top of Africa, with daily hiking, nightly camping, boiling drinking water, tents, blisters and fun!
We will be out of email and blogging contact during the climb, but will be taking pictures and notes so that we can post upon our return to civilization.
The schedule, roughly,
2/8 Arrive at the base of the mountain
2/10 Begin the climb
2/14 Reach the summit
2/15 Arrive back at civilization and internet
2/16 Begin safaris in Ngorongoro and Sarengeti
2/21 Zanzibar
2/26 USA
Augie will be attempting to log what appears to be the world's highest physical geocache, Uhuru Peak, GC10CTQ

Good luck! I can't wait to hear about your trip and I'm now going to look up "free standing" mountains. (What? Do some mountains have something holding them up?)
ReplyDeleteHave a great trip. I'll be looking forward to future posts. And find a few geocaches along the way. Gene and I'll keep this area under control! Wayne aka fljhawk
ReplyDeleteI just read your horoscopes:. "February will be an auspicious month for travel as long as you stay clear of all yellow-haired travelers during this time." Best of luck on your amazing journey.
ReplyDeleteI too offer you good luck. Keep an eye on MAM as she found a "native husband" on her last trip to Africa. Be Safe & ENJOY.
ReplyDeleteHave a great time. I am so jealous. Ryan, keep an I eye mom :) Be safe.
ReplyDeleteSafe travels! Can't wait to hear about it!
