Barb & I got back Sunday night from our climb up Mt Longido. This is the first opportunity we've had to use email. I'll make this short.
All of us got the the top. The weather was perfect. We were only lost for a short time following an elephant trail. The students are very strong. The climb was more work than we expected - took twice as long as we were told. It involved hiring two guides and two Masai guards. We heard a leopard attacking baboons twice during the night - which is why we had the guards. Sleeping on the ground is getting tougher each year. (Our original plan was to climb a mountain that required us to camp out for 3 nights; we're very glad we didn't do that one.)
3 photos - I hope they come thru
The first one shows our 3 dome tents next to a traditonal Masai Boma house. This was were the guides slept overnight
The 2nd one is a shot of the mountain we climbed Mt Longido
The 3rd one shows our Masai guard.
