On the 2nd June we met up with two trekkers, Jay Goldsack and Jerry Trust. These guys are experienced walkers and have trekked in various different countries so now with Kokoda, one more to cross off their bucket list:
On the way out to the drop off point, they both showed interest in wanting to visit the Wildlife Sanctuary on the outskirts of Port Moresby. The Sanctuary is only open on weekends so these guys were in luck!

IMG_0068__1280x768_.JPGLast night the group were at Goodwater campsite and tonight they have reached Ofi Creek. Lots of mud so the going is rather slow but everyone is doing just great.
Climbing_up_from_Ofi_Creek__640x480_.jpgThis team of trekkers and porters spent last night at Agulogo near Menari and today will have a tough walk through the muddy swamp area followed by a climb up Brigade Hill.
They will then head down to the half way point of Efogi where they will spend the night.

IMGP1871 50% 640×480.JPGTrekkers have now reached the half way point of Efogi. Appears it was muddy prior to Brown River and ok after they crossed over the river. They are all now relaxing at Efogi. Trekkers continue to do well.
Efogi Village.jpgPaulo called up this afternoon and said they were at Templeton's 1. Trekkers are enjoying themselves and the boys are having fun. Tomorrow they are going to try and reach Alolo.
IMG_0156 1280×768 800×600.jpgTrekkers have walked off the track a day early and will fly back to Port Moresby tomorrow Monday. During the time they were on the track our forum was updated to a new version so my apology for not being able to post on a regular basis. Our facebook page was however was updated daily so trust you were still able to follow their progress on there.
Thanks guys for choosing to trek with us. Well done from all of us here at Kokoda Trekking.

DSCN0193 640×480.JPGThese two guys spent two nights at Orohaven Kokoda Retreat so looked more than relaxed when I met up with them this morning after they had flown in from Kokoda.
I was asked if I wanted more Americans to come and trek with us, the answer was YES. To date we have only had a handful of American's and would welcome more if they would like to make the journey across the pacific to PNG.
In Kokoda they were invited to the village of one of their porters where the traditional dancers were performing due to some cultural event so these guys were lucky to have witnessed this.
Thanks guys for choosing to walk with us at Kokoda Trekking. We trust you thoroughly enjoyed your trekking experience and that you have many memories that will stay with you for the rest of your lives.
