Kilimanjaro: Tucker & Team View Amazingly Close Animals at Lake Manyara

August 2, 2016

Posted by: Mark Tucker

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Kilimanjaro

Safari is on! That's it, I am buying a good camera. The photos taken today were impressive by one of the team members, shown on his computer screen downloaded at dinner was fantastic. To get so near a wild animal and feel no threat is an unusual experience unless you do it all the time. Such a thrill to relive the game viewing later. So many and such a great diversity in such a short time span, tough to take it all in at the moment. Look out cover of National Geographic, we are well under way. Lake Manyara was a nice tour this afternoon after a leisurely departure from the Dik Dik hotel this morning. Tomorrow the Ngorongoro Crater, better go charge my camera battery. RMI Guide Mark Tucker

Alpamayo: Elias & Team Make Good Time to Moraine Camp

July 17, 2016

Posted by: Elias de Andres Martos

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Peru Seminar

Elevation: 16,240'

Good afternoon from Camp 1, aka Moraine Camp. Rain this morning gave way to high clouds, and patches of sun encouraged us to not delay our move up. Even with heavier loads, we beat our time from our carry two days ago, and now we're finding ourselves relaxing in our tents, with the vestibules pointing to the most astonishing views one can hope; Artesonraju, Paron, Paria, Alpamayo, Quitaraju,,, are only a few of the jagged peaks we have in near horizons. We're excited and ready for our move to High Camp tomorrow. Best regards, RMI Guide Elías de Andres Martos and team.

Mt. Elbrus: The Northside Team Weathers a Day at Camp 1

August 11, 2016

Posted by: Pete Van Deventer, JM Gorum

Categories: Expedition Dispatches Elbrus Northside

Elevation: 12,300'

Rain and wet snow pounding on the tent this morning told us all we needed to know about the wisdom of moving uphill today. With folks recovering from our united GI distress, another day to rest up and be ready for the move was in order. The clouds gave us a break finally, and most of the day was very pleasant, though the moving snow and lenticulars told a different story above. By this evening everyone was excited to be feeling good again, and we are well prepped for a move to our high camp at Lenz Rocks tomorrow. We'll be in touch soon, RMI Guides Pete Van Deventer, JM Gorum, and team
