Ghorapani (2750 m) is shrouded in mist

After seven hours of hiking, I reached Ghorapani. Two days of uphilling trekking about 1000-m each day and I was beat. In this town, I started to see Maoist guerrilla grafitti. In fact, this is where the Maoists are said to extort 1200 Rs from each trekker. I was lucky to encounter none. In fact, there was a ceasefire at the time and secret negotiations to become a mainstream political party.

Sounds a little dangerous there Eric. You gonna join up? Rob and Sara left a few days ago. I think they had fun. The weather was bad while they were here and they got sick. E-mail me if you get a chance.
