Hello there @galenkp, I can't believe you trekked that trail, you must have been in excellent shape. To loose over 17 lbs., wow. How long were you out for?
I have to do a little research about the Owen Stanley mountains to better understand how tough it was. I will look forward to the next installment.
By the way, I hate war but I agree with you, anyone who puts their lives on the line for my freedom deserves my utmost respect and thanks.
