Kilimanjaro: Seth & Team Move into Barranco Camp
Well we have definitely established a rhythm with Kilimanjaro. It was very nice and sunny again this morning and at 9:30am the clouds started building. By 1:30pm it was raining heavily again.
The only thing different from yesterday is that we were out on the trail when the rain hit. It was only for about an hour so not a huge deal really, but it sure is nice to be in a dry tent now.
We covered the longest stretch f the whole trip today, other than summit day and everyone did a great job. We also reached a high point for every climber here at 14,900'. That's always a fun thing.
Now we have two easier days and after that we go for the summit.
That's all for now.

Steve and team I hope you are enjoying your “natural high.” If I was only 40 years younger and 100 lbs lighter I might have made the trip with all of you. As it is I will stay home and root for the Steelers!
You are all in my prayers.

Mrs. Price’s 2nd grade class says, “Hello to KK and the rest of the team. We love following the blog. We would like to know a few things, please…
1. Does anyone ever fall off the trail?
2. Are you bored with camping?
3. How was Kilimanjaro named?
4. Are you excited to see the sunrise?
We hope the rain eases up and that everyone stays dry and has a safe rest of your journey. ”
