High country

Just after Hickory  Creek left for the US, I headed out into the mountains with two of our interns, my son Evan and Marc, one of our program staff, Esteban, and my nephew Isaac.

We hiked for over 12 hours in the Quilindana area between 13400 and 14700 feet.  We experienced some beautiful country, swamps, rain, fog and high winds.  Our camp was at about 14550 on a high and very windy ridge. We were soaked, wind blown and tired, but had a great experience and continue to be amazed at our God's wonderful creation.
