Orientation today was very thorough. Our Tusker guides are great. We were explained everything about the entire trip with all expectations, precautions and "rules of the Trek". Every question we had was answered.
Tusker Trails is an amazing tour operator. I believe there is 19 staff...guides, porters, cooks etc...for the four of us! Full first aid packs, arctic clothing and even 2 oxygen bottles will come along with our tents, sleeping bags, food, portable toilets and so on. Each of us has our own day pack and our individual "Tusker Bag" that the porter carries ...NO MORE THAN 34LBS!

My confidence is high and my health is good. I am READY to go!
We all will need a good nights sleep tonight as we won't see a real bed (except for a sleeping bag) until Feb 22. It's almost unreal that I'm here and about to complete this climb. I have to pinch myself every so often to prove that it isn't a dream.
Randy will get updates from time to time via Tusker base camp and he's promised to upload them.
You can watch our climbing progress on the Tusker Tracking site....http://portal.mxlogic.com/redir/?2DtMsej76zBMQsCQXK3D4nCm3hOr01jrEl-fbUXkY-Fz0bWPGF8z6HqMq778L8TMTvAXTLuZXTKrKrzI42NfUhb0GdifNFOVJVUsYrhpju78KefCzASOOr5M5id40Ba21oQgr10Qg0Lo85zh05_x4Iq811ScHqq83s_3VU3zqpJcSDtMsUyYCCyrlMG5 ....enter group name HENRY.
Tonight Tusker took us out for a very nice dinner (our last supper??)...really, it was excellent!
As you can see in the photo, we've had a new friend "Elizabeth" from Houston, Texas join our little group.
Thx for all your good wishes and support.....here I go!
