creative ways to cross small rivers, Rio Cinto Ecuador, trek in the cloudforst

Would anyone like to swing across the river?!

Open call to anyone who would like to compete in the River-crossing Competition!!

(Rio Cinto – Mindo, Ecuador) —When I learned that a friend planned to trek to the high ridge across Rio Cinto, I asked if I could tag along.  We agreed to meet at ten o’clock this past Saturday morning.   Since the starting point was very near the property, I walked the short distance and arrived a few minutes before the rest of the group.

We planned to go to the top of that hill... well, we thought that was the target!

Since I arrived first, Lenin showed me how to cross then patiently waited to help me on the far side.

Ready… Set… Let’s Go!!! Continue reading →

A friend says that he loves my stories, but it's a shame that I'm in an institution in Mississippi and making this all up!
