Challenger

Daily challenges enter one's life, it's how to deal with those challenges that makes us who we are. The next informational bits I choose to enter into this blog are the facts on the big challenge I will be facing. This mountain, Mt. Kilimanjaro has words sounding in it's name, "KILLAMAN" saying it has and will happen to you if you attempt to climb it!! RIGHT! AHH... Gosh, I mean think it's HUGE!!! The picture is from Iraq taken by a friend that was there and back over a few years, challenging it was. Desert, fence and all still beautiful. Astonishing facts go as follows:

#1
the tallest freestanding mountain rise in the world, 15,000 Feet!!

#2
has almost every ecosystem known to mankind including glacier, snowfields, deserts, alpine moorland, savannah, and tropical jungle.

#3
only between 10,000-25,000 people have attempted to climb Mt. Kil per year! Noted as a personal challenge or spiritual journey. (check)

#4
geology consists three volcanos, not sure which one we will be ascending yet.

#5
37th highest mountain in the world... according to internet explorer right now. All of these facts will be reevaluated at the library this weekend.

Got some more information today about the prospective organizations I am looking up. Also, was reminded this evening that I need to remain dedicated to my deadline for my book. A new list will be in order by tomorrow for the weekend. Yawn... more updates to follow.
