Thanks Gary
A wonderful and enviable report.
ive stargazed with some locals at the top of Haleakala, in Maui, and that was unforgetable, but nothing like your experience.
"Those wimps who climb Everest only have to climb 12,000 feet to get from Base Camp to the summit. On the Big Island you
could ascend or descend through 13,800' in under a couple of hours including time to acclimatise."
Hah! Of course Everest Base camp starts at 5500m!! And the way up(or down) is on foot!
....would love to stargaze from there.
