Ridgeway's effort is to use his trek, which takes him from the ice fields of Africa's highest mountain to the Indian Ocean, about three days' walk away, as a starting point for reflections on history and nature."Ridgeway, Rick is the author of 'Shadow of Kilimanjaro' with ISBN 9780805053906 and ISBN 0805053905.
