Madison, Wisconsin
873 Feet Above Sea Level Welcome to the Madison Nepal Group Blog.
Over the course of the next several weeks, this blog will document the trials and travails of eight (8) intrepid trekkers as they travel from Madison, Wisconsin to the top of the world ... a place called Goyko Ri, near Mount Everest in the Himalayas.
The trekkers include John Bodilly, Jim Levin, Matt Loch, Karen and Scott Lockard, Kris and Tim Nikolai and Jeff Femrite.
Parts of this group have traveled together before (on ski trips and hiking trips around the world) but this is the first trip for this particular group ... let's hope we don't kill each other.
The goal of this blog is to document the adventure for our friends at home, but to be perfectly honest we are not entirely sure this is going to work. Blogging from a "wi-fyed" pub in London is one thing ... blogging from the top of the Himalayas in another. We have promised wi-fi access, and based on that promise we are lugging a laptop along. We are hopeful that we will be able to blog with some frequency, but we may have to skip some days based available access
Goyko Ri, Nepal
15,575 Feet Above Sea Level to the Internet. And it is not outside the realm of possibility that once we leave Kathmandu you will not hear from us until we return. I guess we will see.
For you readers ... these blogs are more fun when they are interactive, so if your reading this FEEL FREE TO LEAVE COMMENTS.
Over the next couple of days, we will add entries just to make sure we are up and running.
The actual trip starts on Wednesday, October 8, 2014, with a 13.5 hour flight from Chicago to Doha, Qutar.
Your first assignment is to figure out where Doha is.
Feel free to spread the word about this blog. We would like as many readers as possible.
