Kilimanjaro Expedition Dispatch

August 3, 2009 – Jan, Amanda and Rob Start Their Climb Up Kilimanjaro

This is Jan, Amanda, and Rob calling from Londorosi gates, the start of our Lemosho route at the foot of Kilimanjaro. We’ve completed the man-made challenge which was lost baggage from an entire flight, that was a new one. However, it showed up in the end and the man-made challenges are behind us. Now we are about to face the natural challenges on the mountain.

We may be calling in another dispatch later today or tomorrow and then we go into a silent (cell) zone.

Goodbye for now.
