Book Summary
This was a pinnacle adventure in my life – a profound experience. After seven days of incredible beauty, breathtaking vistas, almost impossible hiking and climbing through five different climatic zones, I was standing on top of the highest peak in Africa, the largest free-standing mountain in the world. It gave me an unimaginable feeling of awe and accomplishment. It will take me a long time to come down from this mountaintop!
This is the story of the dangers, the challenges and the triumphs of a group of ten friends, led by the able guides of Tusker Trail on a nine day adventure to the top of Africa and back down.
I will live the rest of my life with the dream of Kilimanjaro fulfilled.
This adventure has been chronicled in a coffee-table book entitled Kilimanjaro! avaiable online.

Karen and I both read your manuscript about the trip to the top of Africa. Your colorful descriptions of your fantastic trip were interesting! What an incredible journey . . . We found what we would have thought virtually impossible: your writing conveys even more enthusiasm than your persona. As hikers who love the mountains, wilderness and wildlife, we shared and enjoyed your trip. Your photographs were outstanding and helped greatly to convey your vision of the trip. It truly was a trip of a lifetime, although we would guess that you are likely to do more of those. Your love of Africa comes though in your writing even more clearly than it does in your office! Thanks very much for sharing with us.
