Back on Earth
Monday, December 24, 2007
After an adventurous and strenuous six days of hiking, through four different climates and over 4095ft/13435ft vertical feet straight up, our team made it to the top of Mt Kilimanjaro and back down again! We’re happy to report our return to the ground in Mosh, just in time for Christmas! Above you’ll see a photos of all of us taken at the base of Mt. Kilimanjaro.
