We sure are missing you but it’s great to be able to get updates while you’re gone and to see pictures. Little One is loving her daily letters (and also the surprise of seeing what color it will be)! She seems to enjoy the names of the places (words she’s never heard before of course) because she always repeats them back… too fun. :-) We love you - have fun and be safe!

Love to all. m

I have been in Mt Kilimanjaro with three groups of RMI, Two groups with Mr Mark Tucker, and one group with Seth Waterfal. I learned so much about guiding professional, RMI guides are real professional, they know well about the mountain and caring of clients. Their friendly and charming. The clients ware so cooperative to us. Dikdik crews are remembering RMI expeditions to Kilimanjaro. We are proud of RMI. LONG LIVE RMI.

Sunday, February 9, 2025, Day 10.
It was a bright and beautiful morning. We sat in silence, slurping our coffee, and enjoying the last bites of our final basecamp breakfast. Our last for the foreseeable future. We embraced our basecamp staff members with smiles on our faces and set out to begin our official climb on Cerro Aconcagua. "¡Buenas Suerte!" they said, as we waved goodbye. "¡Hasta luego!" we said, as we know we will get to see them again.
As we journeyed up the trail to Camp 1, we could still feel the cool breeze from the early morning freeze. It wasn't long, however, before the high altitude sun warmed us. It was another tough day getting to our destination, but we arrived in high spirits and indulged in some much needed rest. We again witnessed a stormy spectacle as we ate tasty bites for dinner. Now we're settled into the warmth of our sleeping bags, excited to see what all the hooplah is about at Camp 2 tomorrow before returning to Camp 1 for another night.

Denali Team Assemble!
Everyone has made it to Alaska with our bags in tow. After brief introductions we loaded up the shuttle and took off for Talkeetna. The day was beautiful with clear skies and warm temps. After an hour we did a quick pit stop at the grocery store in Wasilla for last minute supplies, mostly beer and cookie dough. Another hour of driving and we arrived in the quaint town of Talkeetna. Unloading the dozens of duffels and supplies really put into perspective the sheer scale of preparing for an expedition of this size. We then relaxed for the evening, had a wonderful dinner and enjoyed the midnight sun.
Cheerio,
RMI Guides Jack, Andy, Joey and the team
