Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team at Machame Camp
Posted by: Mark Tucker | August 07, 2012
Categories: *Expedition Dispatches *Kilimanjaro
Elevation: 9,999'
Mark Tucker checking in from 9,999’. Camp 1 on Kilimanjaro on the Machame Route in the Machame Camp reporting all is well. We just had a great day. A little bit overcast. It actually sprinkled just enough to keep the dust down. Last trip it was quite a dusty monster but boy, conditions just couldn’t be better. The team is climbing very well, no issues. Great meal, no headaches. Everybody is just climbing into their tents and looking forward to a nice rest. Big day tomorrow but nothing these guys can’t handle. Obviously I’ve got a couple of layers. I’ve got my heavy coat on just to stay comfortable but it is very pleasant out tonight. The clouds have now blown out and it is a very starry, starry night. We have a real nice camp, a little higher than most groups, so we have our own little private Idaho, which is sort of a bonus. As usual there are a few other teams out here but they are doing okay as well. We are having a blast and we appreciate you guys keeping tabs on us. We’ll report back sooner than later.
