I've come down from the mountains in the Annapurna region of Nepal after a 10-day trek. It was by far the hardest physical experience of my life, and required quite a bit of mental stamina too. I accomplished my goal of having a fun time trekking around the highest mountain range in the world, though all did not go according to plan.
Over the coming days, I will share my final experiences in China, my flight to Katmandu via Lhasa and Mt. Everest, my rendezvous with trekking buddy Gela in Pokhara, preparing for the trek, and one GIANT outdoor adventure!
I hope you'll continue to join me.
Glad to have you back!!! knew you where treking, but wondered how it was going.
can’t wait to hear the adventure!

no fees to maoist terrorists? :) great looking pic dave.
Nope, the Maoists had plenty of flyers up in the villages, but I never felt threatened in any way by the political situation.

Oh man, I bet that was a tough trek!! Wish I could get in shape to do that.
You’d be surprised how little shape it requires. I saw just as many, if not more, people in their 40’s and 50’s than in their 20’s. Not that they probably weren’t in shape, but I think you’d be surprised at what is possible out there.

Congratulations on hitting the 300 reader mark :)
Thanks Phil – I noticed that too. It’s a great milestone when I think back to starting at the big goose egg – zero!
