Mt. Ugo Day 1

Posted on June 16, 2013April 2, 2020 by Karen

I felt a sense of excitement as the weeks drew nearer to the date that we were to climb Mt. Ugo. It would be, after all, my very first mountain-climbing experience. I knew it wouldn’t be easy, but I was positive that it wouldn’t be that difficult. That was until I came across the e-mail sent…
