Why blog, you ask?

I, Skarbs, HIKED the 3 highest peaks in Africa in January of 2012, all to raise money for the 3 "peak issues" in East Africa: Education, Health, and Environment. East Africa is a place close to my heart. I know the difference that love, belief, and understanding can make in this beautiful part of the world. Join with me as I REFLECT back on this amazing journey!

Boundary Waters- More training complete!

My Bro and I spent some time in the Boundary Waters in Minnesota.  Canoed 18 lakes in 4.5 days. Fun. And tiring.  Great for the rhomboids (look it up).
I worked on my paddling skills...

My ability to absorb wonderful views...

Sunset photo-taking skills...

navigation skills...

canoe portaging skills...

falling into lake skills...

teeth brushing skills...

and my bonding skills!
 Overall, we had a great time, and I would go back.  It was more great prep for being outdoors participating in physically exhausting activities, sometimes in inclement weather!  We had two great storms while we were up there, and heard some excellent rolling thunder.
