To ring in the New Year
2013 we traveled north to spend some time with our Senior Missionary neighbors,
Elder/Sister Hunter in Kitale. We
spent the day in the Mt. Elgon National Park enjoying a bit of hiking, hunting
for animals, and exploring a cave where the elephants and other animals come to
lick salt. It is a very large cave with
plenty of bats, smoke on the ceiling, and as the story goes this cave was the
scene for centuries of gathering before lion hunts or tribal warfare.
We did spot the exotic
Colobus Monkey and the Common Waterbuck plus we found elephant tracks in the cave, and tried out
some vine swinging of our own.
Elder /Sister Hunter -- we've become great friends with our northern neighbors!

Good Hiking for New Year's Day
My Elder Tarzan - He's looking good!
Later in the day we 4-wheeled up to Elephant Plateau
and enjoyed this view of the beautiful Rift Valley that extends
up north of
Kitale. Look close to find little groups of thatched roof homes in the scattered villages. Thanks Elder/Sister Hunter for a lovely New Year’s Day.
