August 4, 2009 – Big Tree Camp

Hello, it is Amanda calling. We spent the first night at Big Tree camp with the black and white calibus monkeys surrounding us howling to each other from the tree tops. They were protecting their territory but they don’t like human food. All is well.

We awoke to many different bird calls. Julius has taken our oxygen level and heart rates and everyone has adjusted well to 2,650m. We are now sitting in the fog and about to reach our second camp.
