Elevation: 13,000'

Hey again from Mt. Kilimanjaro checking in with our evening update.  From the Karanga Camp, hovering around 13,000’.  Well we had another great day, can’t help but reported it.  We climbed the Barranco Wall, which was a half hour of fun.  I can’t tell you how many pictures I shot and they are going to be looking good in the old photo album, I guarantee it.  It was getting a little bit dusty so we called upon the rain god. We got a little sprinkle then we got into camp and the sky opened up a bit.  It didn’t really soak things but just enough to kind of keep the dust down.  Now I see the summit above me, a billion stars out, a little cloud layer below, temperatures not too bad. We are all in good shape.  There was no wet gear created.  We were perfect timing on that so we are looking really good for our push up to high camp tomorrow.  We are all thrilled.  Had a great meeting.  Went over a lot of details and as a team are doing very well.  Don’t you worry, we are having a good time and everything is A OK.
