It feels like it was just yesterday that it was January 1st and I began my countdown with nearly a year to go until Kilimanjaro. Now it is just a little over 3 months away.
A knee injury a couple of weeks ago has slowed my hiking training down. It's almost inevitable that SOMETHING will happen along the way - just praying it heals quickly and I can get back on the trail soon. There have been some amazing hikes in the mountains the past few months. Here are a few pictures of the more scenic hikes.
Mt. Hood - East side near Cooper Spur

Mt Jefferson from Park Ridge overlooking Jefferson Park.
North & Middle Sisters from Collier Cone
God is so good to allow me to see His creation like this. Each mountain has its own struggles and is unique in its character and beauty. As I ponder the wisdom of deciding to take on Mt. Kilimanjaro, I am nursing a sore knee back to health and go through the pains that accompany the training in preparation.
Counting down and looking forward to the challenge of a lifetime!
