In an attempt to better give you a feel for where Ukarumpa is, I took a short hike Friday night to the top of one of the nearby hills. I spent the night with Mike and Ian Patrick and Daniel. They all grew up in PNG and we had a great time sharing stories around the fire that night. As we were leaving the center, one of the guys who mows lawns on center offered to be our guide as far as his house in the village just off center. He was very helpful to show us the most shallow part of the river we had to cross that was waste deep and moving swiftly. From then we just followed the path through the grass that has been hiked for hundreds of years. Lighting was crashing on several of the surrounding hills but we were in the sunshine. It was beautiful.
