Great to hear you are all doing well playing in the snow. Jason, how about a group shot of the team so we know you aren’t all sitting in a hot spring somewhere with a cocktail? Actually, I am sure you all could use a hot spring and a cocktail (or 5) right about now. Have fun, be safe. Brady, we can’t wait to make fun of your beard and squeeze the juice out of you! xoxoxo Janie

Peter's update from Vinson Basecamp

Today we walked.
It was a dusty, rocky, hot, and dry 15 miles from Mulas Basecamp to the park trailhead. In front of us sprawled an immense valley. Behind us, clear views of the summit we stood upon just a few short days ago.
A perfect setting for reflection.
Some thought back to the summit bid with all the challenges and struggles that came with it.
Others looked forward to the Michelin Star dinner that awaits us in Mendoza tonight. With FKTs being broken to meet the reservation.
Still others spoke of future climbing plans such as Mt. Vinson or Denali.
All in all we started this journey as strangers just a few short weeks ago. But we leave the Park as friends, by our shared experience of climbing Aconcagua.
Thank you for following along, we can't wait till we're back out in the mountains for our next objectives.

Hello everyone
We spent yesterday and this morning touring Tarangire National Park which is home to many elephants, in fact, it has more per square kilometer than any place on earth and it didn’t disappoint. There were plenty of other animals as usual, and we got pretty close to a few lions, which was amazing. We also managed to see a leopard and a Pearl Spotted Owlet, which were some of the highlights.
We ended our day at a remote and off grid camp within the National Park and surrounded by wildlife. The camp has screened in rooms that allow the night sounds of Africa in.
It's been a memorable experience for everyone and great friendships forged. But finally it's time to return home to our families.
Thanks for following
Casey and the Safari crew!

Did you get close enough to see the flamingos?

Steve, the hippos are huge. Apparently the hippos are
are not bothered by people being nearby.
