What is over 19,000 feet high and 4 million years old?

Well, it's not today's guest.

Let's find out what it is.

What a welcome. You want to welcome back our friend Dr. Robert Scanlon who was just on a very

interesting hike what we might call a bucket list hike many of us talk about doing.

Dr. Scanlon, welcome back to Papa Bear hikes.

Thank you so much for having me on Martin.

So tell us what's over 4 million years old

and 19,000 feet in elevation.

Definitely not me just yet.

I'm getting there. But Mount Kilimanjaro has beat me to that to that statistic.

Were you feeling four million years old when you got up there?

Yeah. It definitely humbles you.

At least me, you know, I'm just a mere human, you know, you're mortal.

So Rob, let me ask you this. As I said in the intro, it's a bucket list type of hike. You talk to a lot of hikers. Whether there are people who do peaks or just like the hike trails,

Kilmajara comes up on a lot of people's list.

What motivated you to want to do this hike?

So, you know, it's it's one of the is at seven great peaks or and but but doable without without, you know, technical equipment, you know technical equipment you know it's doable as a as a hike.

And you know we were talking before you know this was you know I think I'd seen pictures of people on at the summit and like wow

19,000 feet Jesus that's a long way up and And like, yeah, one day I'd love to do that.

And the opportunity for it came up much sooner

than I had anticipated.
