In August 2010, I hiked "Pikes Peak" (14,175 ft)in Denver, Colorado. Deciding to hike Mt. Kilimanjaro (19,341 ft)was a follow-up with a goal to raise funds for improving literacy and education among kids. We made it to the summit of Mt. Kilimanjaro on September 12, 2011. In December 2011 I did a 10 day desert expedition. Currently planning on an expedition to the Himalayas in Sept-Oct 2012. ~ Shake Mahajan ~

Getting ready for a 12 day hike in the desert.
Looks like the temperatures are not bad this time of the year. 40-90 degrees is not bad when it is going to be snowing and freezing cold here.
Just got a new 3 L hydration pack. My previous one had started leaking a day before our final summit attempt. Then for the rest of the time I had to use Nalgen bottles. So, anyway I needed a replacement. ;-)
This time around I am carrying my "good" camera as well as the one I had taken with me to Kilimanjaro. Still have to get some mandatory hiking gear in order. But all is good so far.
Wish me luck :)
