Team Belly Finger departs for safari and home & Team Larry O arrives

Hey everyone-
It has been a busy last 3 days here!  Belly Finger wrapped up the trip and folks have headed to safari yesterday, or onward home.

My thanks to another great team of folks and to our awesome Tanzanian crew!

Team Larry O all arrived last night and today we had our orientation, gear checks and town tour.  Tomorrow am we depart for the mountain and we will spend New Years eve at Machame Camp 10,000′.  Justin was waiting for 1 bag, but it is inbound from the airport as I type this.

Stay tuned for more from the mountain!

Hari A Mwa Kampea – Happy New Year!
