Kili day 4

Greetings from Karanga Camp.....elevation approx 13,100 feet.......all is well !! all 14 of us are in good relatively good shape....only minor issues w altitude... so far..!!.....we r in camp already for the rest for the day........

You ought to see this setting....... We are in the middle of the alpine desert, which basically looks like pictures on the moon.....Kili is towering right behind us w bright blue sky as a back drop.....the clouds are beginning to set in around us ......then you add the 100 or so tents scattered w in a 100 yard radius that looks sort of like a refugee camp.......words can not describe but it is pretty awesome!!

Tomorrow we have about a 5 hour hike in the morning.....will rest all afternoon.....have early dinner then try to sleep 4 or 5 hours.....then we shoot for the summit at around midnight our time which is 5 in the aft Thursday Atl time....so by midnight or 1 a.m. Your time we all hope to have made it....it will be a major challenge but I think the group is up for it!
