Good morning from Machame Hut camp.......we are beginning day 2 of the Kili odyssey....we went about 12 (pretty steep) miles yesterday and 4000 vertical feet thru a lush green mossy rain forest.......and are now at an elevation of about 10.3k sf.......it is about 40 degrees ( and rising)the sky is a spectacular bright blue .....we are above the clouds covering the valley below and we can see the top of Kili towering above. ..wow!!!.....all is well.....spirits are high and no one has altitude symptoms. ......today we go 7 miles and 2500 more vertical feet thru the heather zone, which is one of the transition areas from rain forest to moon scape.......the altitude and acclimitization games will begin.....supposedly cell service is hit or miss from here out so we may or may not be on the grid......hakuna matata!!
Ps Christin wants her mom and dad to know that her ankle is doing fine.!!! ...( She is a trooper!)

Hello All! We just had a wonderful prayer "get together" at Lou Bailey's house. We prayed for everyone's safety and endurance. We prayed for the friendships and the spiritual experiences that all of you are embracing. From the tone of the blogs and emails...all is going well with both the Kili and Safari groups! We praise our Lord for his love and protection! God Bless everyone, Twyla
