It's a very good thing that I quickly acclimated to the altitude at 11,800 ft in Colorado, because guess what I just booked for next year, spring 2024??? Mount Everest Base Camp!!!!!!!!!! I am so so excited!!! It might just be the biggest adventure of my life. Mount Everest has always been in the back of my mind on my tentative bucket-list, but I figured it was too dangerous. However, the more I looked into it, hiking to Base Camp seemed to be something I could be prepared for and achieve. It's an 80-mile hike and it takes anywhere from 8-12 days to complete depending on how much ground you cover each day. The highest point of the journey is around 18,000 feet, so hopefully my body will gradually get used to the thin air on the way up. I hired an experienced Sherpa, and he will bring along a porter and a yak. So, that's my big news today!!! Have you ever done anything like this or would you ever do anything like this?
