the Machame Camp at about 9400 ft.\u00a0 They started out with a one hour ride up the lower slopes of the mountain from Moshi to the Machame Gate (5400 ft) where they checked their permits with the National Park rangers, and then hit the trail accompanied by their Chagga guides and porters.\u00a0 It took them about five and a half hours of steady hiking to reach the camp which is situated right at treeline, with peekaboo views of Kilimanjaro through the trees.\u00a0 The weather was gorgeous and everyone did well.\u00a0 Now they are ensconced at the Machame Camp for the night and will be heading to the Shira Plateau camp tomorrow.\u00a0 So far so good!<\/p>\n<div id=\"attachment_27734\" style=\"width: 2570px\" class=\"wp-caption alignnone\"><a
