2012 Adventures - Here I Come

So 2011 ended up being a good year.  A number of adventures taken, new places visited and a goal met of camping/backpacking and sleeping in a tent 40 nights.  Night 40 came on a backpack trip in the McCormick Wilderness in northern Michigan on December 29th. 



Now for 2012...

A little over a month ago I was asked if I had ever climbed Mt Kilimanjaro and if not had an interest.  And since I hadn't climbed it, of course I was interested.  So it is, I will be going to Tanzania in March and climbing Kili.  Yes, that's two months from now.  It's very exciting and I am looking forward to it.  Wow, Kili!  All I can think is thank goodness I love to hike, backpack and just being outside.  It turns out everything I did in 2011 has helped me to prepare for this trip.  And having already planned a winter backpacking trip in February to the Pacific NW, this should help in preparations. 

As for the rest of 2012 - who knows yet.  More camping with the dogs, snowshoeing with friends, and just continuing the love of the outdoors.  Where that will all happen, who knows yet.  Looking forward to a good 2012 in the great outdoors.
