    For most people, it’s one of the greatest achievements they could brag about for the rest of their lives. For the guides and locals, it’s just another morning walk in a local park before breakfast.

    Jessica, I know you had a lot of roadblocks on plans this year, but man did you hit the high points! Kilimanjaro and getting married, you do't get much of a better year than that. Thank you for letting us in on a little more of your amazing journey.

  • @jazziered142

    I started crying when I saw your wedding picture Dixie, I'm so happy for you. May you have continued happiness throughout your life.

  • @bethteixeira5696
    @bethteixeira5696 6 месяцев назад

    I cried at your summit, vividly remembering my own on Jul 8. And then you tastefully announced your engagement and wedding, so I cried again. Thank you for sharing your beautiful life with us, Dixie. You have a way of touching people’s hearts.

    @rhousto1 7 месяцев назад +14

    That was a remarkable journey. It's obvious that it takes a special person to make it to the top. It was apparent that even for you, such an experienced outdoorsman, that it takes a toll on your body. The porters make up a special group and they deserve all the praise you gave them and more. Loved every posting of this amazing trip.

    What an epic journey! I'm exhausted, and my eyes are full of tears. To think that you actually survived a trek like that. That you also managed to get some beautiful shots of nature is incredible. The final one put such a peaceful and calm ending to what was, to me, a harrowing trip. Thank you for the opportunity to see more of Rodney. Which brings me to the most mportant thing... Congratulations, you two!! I'm glad you have given lie to the closing music of the video. May God bless you on your newest adventure, and may any ups and downs be mild in comparison to Kilimanjaro. ♥️♥️

    I’ve found the REI house brand to be a consistently good value. Bought an REI brand backpack, which has been excellent. Durable, light, full of features. Agree that buying lightly used gear is a good approach.
