Comment: The gorillas have been on the move, eating as they go. Our trail is often improvised as is this steep hillside ascent through stinging nettles. Long sleeves, rain pants and gloves really helped.

12SabyinyoGroup - 16 * Most of our hike had a confined view.

12SabyinyoGroup - 17 * We always enjoyed reaching one of the small clearings where we could have a short rest. This is a high elevation for sea level types. The pre-trip to Tanzania really helped us acclimatize.

12SabyinyoGroup - 18 * Eric, Pat, Gary and Irene with our guides Patience and Edward. Gary is the first blind person to trek the mountain gorillas at PNV.

12SabyinyoGroup - 19 * Local farmers take turns as porters. They carry our belongings allowing us to slip in the mud and fall with hardly a concern.
