The Quest Begins

The Quest Begins

After several years of planning, anticipation, and fortitude we have arrived at this moment that will surely tranform our lives. The Sojourners; Paul Hermsmeyer, Bogue Hermsmeyer, Seth Hermsmeyer, Logan Cannon, and Cameron Taylor all share incredible passion for mountains, travel, adventure, culture, ethnic food, and all things novel. These common passions have forged a bond and an opportunity for an adventure unlike any other. The trip will entail two of the most famous sections of the Himalayas, The Annapurna Circuit/Sanctuary, and the Khumbu/Everest region. We will traverse well over 500 miles and experience some of the most dramatic vistas and amazing cultures on the planet. With this being said, it is important to note that we realize we are incredibly privileged to be able to embark on this journey and will conduct ourselves with the utmost respect for both local culture and the environment. We would also like to note that this would not be possible without the incredible support from our family and friends(especially the parents) who have been there for us throughout the duration. This blog is intended to be informative, keeping our friends and family updated, and show our enthusiasm throughout our experience in the beautiful "Mountain Kingdom of Nepal".

2 days!!!

We have officially entered the last phase of preparation, which is packing our bags at the ranch house in Nebraska. A great number of family and friends attended the send-off celebration for the sojourn. Great food and cheer accompanied by family, friends, the outdoors, and even a Nebraska football game have left us all full in our hearts and ready for the journey. Thank you to all for the great weekend.........Next post will be from Kathmandu!
