In the southern southern part of the southwest we just drove Goose on the highest road on Earth. He did great, but was down on power of course.

Mount Kilimanjaro. 19,341 feet. No road, so had to get up it the hard way. It is a shame that these glaciers will disappear in the next 15 years.

How'd you handle the altitude? Any breathing issues?

We did well, but when the tire tracks stopped I got out and walked the next mile or so to make sure we weren't making a bad decision to go around the next corner and that's when I felt it. Truck ran surprisingly well. We hiked to 17k once before and it was much tougher. I attribute it to hiking the entire way, not having the Coca leaf candy and the route on that path was straight up vs a switchback road I walked.

18,660 ft. for the thread victory - excellent. Really enjoy checking in time to time on your trip.
