Enjoy trekking? Post member Russ Seelig is planning a trek in Nepal next spring and invites other interested members (and family members) to join in the fun. The actual trekking starts from Jiri, near Kathmandu, and winds up to Everett Base Camp and back to Lukla. So far, Harold and his son have signed on for the approximately four-week hike. It promises to be an interesting, and challenging, trek so if you are interested, give Russ or Harold a call to get more details.
