Viewing Post for: Everest Base Camp #1 & #2

Date: Thursday, October 18
Location: Gorak Shep and Everest Base Camp. Yeah!

We made it! It was not easy. People were really tired getting back to the lodge a little before sunset. 


 We had a perfect day. Everest came into view as we got closer, or part of Everest. Hard to believe we were standing in this iconic spot. Just incredible. Some collapsed with the effort, some cried, some hugged. Powerful moment. 

The light as it went down on the surrounding mountains was stunning. 

 Tomorrow for those who can, we climb a nearby small peak for a view before we begin our trek out. 

Not much more to say then, we made it!

Hi Mom I miss you so much and so does Nico. Nico is fun great gentleman and wonderful companion. We both miss you so much but we are so proud of your endeavors and what you've been embarking on in her lovely Journey up to the Mount Everest Base Camp. I hope that you're having fun and that you're enjoying your exercise I miss you so so so much but we will see you soon. Today I went to a funeral and it was very depressing but we thought about you and we've been taking little Victory laps together

CONGRATULATIONS, YOU DID IT!!! How exciting and exhilarating and exhausting at the same time!!! We are looking forward to your neighborhood presentation. You'll be off the mountain in a few days and back next weekend, but you'll be on a high for a long time. We had our first (very minimal) snow of the season overnight Wednesday to Thursday, so we thought of you and the crew. God's travel mercies for the rest of your adventure.
