Uganda, Jeff Shea in Ruwenzoris, 1984

Uganda, Jeff Shea in Ruwenzoris, 1984 - In this photograph, i am walking out of the Ruwenzoris after six days of hiking and a failed attempt to reach Point Margherita, the highest peak in the mountain range. On September 28, 1984 at Ejuku Hut (3962 m) I wrote, "Stoned out of my head here in the most incredible landscape imaginable. Forests of giant groundsels cling (above 12,000 ft.) to soaring peaks. Mist moves in and out of the valleys, thunder occasionally dominates the audible spectrum. Rushing water, waterfalls and creeks crash through valleys."
