The Hike Starts Tomorrow!

Today we spent the day in Tanzania at the local market, and hanging around our hotel. We begin our ascent up Mount Kilimanjaro tomorrow morning at about 9 in the morning, and well descend next Wednesday at about breakfast time. Our group consists of 8 people, including my Mom, Dad, Jack Oliver, Boyd and Taylor Matson, Jennifer, and Saunders. Hopefully all of us making it to the summit, and return back to base camp in one piece. Everyone is a bit nervous/anxious about our hike, and now Jack and I, who are sleeping in the same tent together, are putting together our day pack, and clothes for the trip. This is Taylor Matson’s second attempt at climbing this mountain, because the first time the altitude got the best of him. Hopefully none of us have to turn around early. Mt. Kili, here we come!
