Cottage Cheese Fries: Four-wheeling up Mt. Kenya

Before I came to Africa, I used to think the roads in Nebraska were bad when it snowed or rained and the gravel washed away. I now have a whole new vision of an all-terrain vehicle and an appreciation for landrovers. This car deserves a kiss. So many hours of sliding I don't even know where to begin. Mount Kenya is the second highest mountain in Africa after Kilimanjaro. It's supposed to be more climbable. In something like fourth grade I made a pretty amusing list of ten things I wanted to accomplish in my time on earth-- one of them, unsurprisingly, was climb Mount Everest. I think I was inspired by watching a documentary with my dad about a guy that chewed his own leg off to wiggle out of a rock and lost his nose to frostbite. And to think I thought peeing in a whole in the ground was bad.
