"traveller ... mistress of endurance and fortitude"

A description given on a certificate at the beginning of the twentieth century to Dame Freya Stark who discovered the source of the Euphrates. A description that applies well to Ms. Mikki McRee, President of Reach For The Sky Adventure and inveterate globe trotter.

Mikki has explored the Middle East, The Far East and Europe but in The Himalayas she found home.

The unique, the unexpected always appealed to Mikki McRee who has managed baseball teams in the US and in Canada, has flown planes and has quested into the unknown, the unexplored.

Having found a home in The Himalayas she wants to share it with the world. She's gathered about her a cheerful, friendly band of volunteers all possessed with her ability to share, to show and to explain.
