Well, it looks like I’ll get a shot at the falls—if the weather permits. I may only see clouds. I had that happen with Mt. McKinley, which I never saw in 6 weeks in Alaska as a boy, and thought when I went back 2 years ago I would miss it again, only to have it pop through the clouds on my last day. I hope it will happen again. I started my malaria meds yesterday (a couple days late, as I originally thought I would be going to the falls next Tuesday, now it is Friday and Saturday) and one of the side effects, insomnia, seemed very present. Since I have problems with that anyway, maybe it is just excitement.
Today I have to go get some supplies for my hosts—cheddar cheese and shampoo. I’m also charging my 5 lb. CPAP back-up battery. It may finally get some use.
In a spirit of optimism and of an Ebenezer, here is a pic of Mt. McKinley as it comes out of the clouds. I hope in a few days to have another one of Angel Falls like in the post below!
