June 25, 2007 – At the Top of the Forest
I am calling you from the top of the forest, still several thousand feet above the road where we will be picked up tomorrow, but a long ways from the snow field crater at the top of Kilimanjaro where we slept last night. Jackie, Deke and a couple of The rest of us as you know are heading out tomorrow, and we will be meeting the rest of the Martin family and we will be off on our safari adventure This is Charles Martin 4th trip to Kili with Berg Adventures, the most recent being February 2006, when we were here with the wonderful group of people from British Columbia Association for Community Living, 43 people from across the province of British Columbia; there hasn’t been an hour on this trip that Charles and I haven’t talked about these folks. He was doc with a capital DOC. His spirit and his inspiration was a big part of their adventure here on the mountain This trip was about Doc’s dream of sleeping in the crater and we were successful with that and we had a wonderful time. We will keep you posted as our adventure continue, we looking forward to be reunited with the rest of Martin’s family tomorrow. Steve has of course been there to greet them. We will keep you posted.
