Reminiscing...

For those of you that don't know, don't remember or just plain would like to find out.. .back in good old 2009, the guys traveled very far from home, family and loved ones to climb Mt Kilimanjaro in Tanzania Africa... the goal that time was to allow Brian's brother Brad the opportunity to see an amazing sunrise from the nearly the top of the world.. before he went completely blind.
Here is a link to our blog from that adventure..... it's a great place to start if you want to get to know how these guys think and act. It will help to show you how well they train and prepare for these trips and hopefully it will help to excite you to want to hear more about this latest journey.
Keep them in prayer and don't forget to keep checking here for updates...

2.5 weeks left.  holy crap!  so much still to do....menus to finalize, gear to sort and weigh.  the devil's always in the details though.  this has been a long time in the making, so the excitement to actually 'get after it' is crazy.
"what gear am i forgetting?"
"do i have too much gear?"
"do i have enough gear?"
"what will the weather have in store for us?"
"how will we get along as a team when stress is high?"
"am i mentally prepared?  i mean REALLY mentally prepared?"
