| 0:10.0 | Thanks for adventuring with us as we discover what incredible athletes and outdoor enthusiasts are doing all over the world. |
| 0:19.0 | Hello everyone and welcome to the Adventure Sports podcast. This is Caleb. |
| 0:24.8 | Quick update on Kurt's expedition climbing Kilimanjaro. At this point, we really haven't heard |
| 0:32.8 | a lot, which that's because he's out of service and so you know no news is good news. |
| 0:40.3 | Before he got out of service he did say that he really enjoys his fellow climbers |
| 0:46.3 | and the guiding company Altaza Tour Operators is a fantastic crew of people, really professional |
| 0:53.3 | and sounds like they really know what they're |

| 1:57.8 | Kentucky has an unbelievable number of waterfalls and natural arches, other formations, |
| 2:05.8 | caves, things like that that I did not realize. I think Kentucky is third in the U.S. |
| 2:12.6 | states. Bill will correct me if I'm wrong for the number of natural arches that there are there? |
