I got a reply from Susan who had responded to my note
about a brief holiday hike into the Virunga.
In view of your comments on the elk hunt in the snowy Maroon Bells, I
add her comments below: Just what more
praise could she sing to the virtues of the Virunga than she has just
done? (I have been so often to the Game
parks of each Kenyan and South Africa that I could probably lead a good
commercial tour in each, in the luxurious comfort of an A/C bus, but that
should be done before or after the trip on the travelers own time and tab.)
Her view of the hazards is what makes me want to get
there specifically!

Dr. Geelhoed, I would also like to build in some sort
of "African
Adventure" at the end of the mission to Rwanda.
However, the Virunga
area might not be the best. In the past Rev. Jupa has
said that it was
too expensive. It costs about $250.00 per person,
requires armed Army
escort and involves pretty heavy jungle hikes.If we go
through Kenya or
South Africa we could visit those parks. Just a
thought. Susan

Fantastic pictures.
I can only imagine the work in hiking to the hunt,
butchering the elk and
packing the meat out on horses.

After only a few twin grandkids photos, you will see
the elk hunt in the
first of two rolls in the golden glory of aspen, and
then in the white out
of a snowstorm!
