camp 5 was rather large, it stretched from one plateu to a large flat area below where the camp crew and one of the tents for the trekkers sat. Hidden in the shadow of the mountain and blocked by the valley beside us we could no longer see the vast mountain ranges that we had hours earlier, only a cockeyed view of the very tips remained in sight.Our tent was settled between the other mens tent and the first womens tent, as soon as we got inside we could tell it was going to be a long night. Rocks and uneaven surfaces were rip through out the tent and the wind blew easily through the improperly outfitted enclosure at the back, even so the places next to the opening seemed to be the smoothest in the tent, so thats where we made our beds.An hour or so after arriving and settling in, tea and a welcome drink was offered, and an hour after that there was food handed out, but blake and I were sick of the food in the camps and choose not to go down the hill to eat. The guys came back in the tent and sat in a circle choming down on something, the smell quickly overcame us both and we joined the circle, we took the crunchy potato slice like food and ate it, we immediately ran out of the tent and down the hill to where the food was. Whatever this stuff was, to us it was nothing short of ambrosia and it was all that mattered in our minds. Blake had no container so he shoved the food into his shirt while I filled as much as I could in a container Raveesh had givin me. Whatever we couldnt carry we stuffed in our mouths and headed back to the tent to gorge on our prize.A short while after that, perhaps one or two hours later, dinner was ready, it was a type of bread mixed with radish and pudding for dessert, which actually was pretty damn good. Blake was passed out in the tent when I came back, he woke up a little bit latter to ask if there was anymore of that (good shit) left from lunch, I said no and told him what was for dinner instead, he rolled his eyes in dissapointment or disgust, I couldn't be sure, then fell back into whatever realm he had awoken from.During that night those in our tent and those from others discussed our desire to leave camp early in the morning and hire a guide to show us down the rest of the mountain without the group. Many things were said and much more was felt, everyone had an opinion about this or that, much of it was focused on repercussions wed face from the camp leaders at the bottom. After much debate and a few well placed calls and messages we ajourned what to me must have closely resembled every pre-cue/assassination/escape/fraud attemp in history. The camp fell silent with the exception of the wind blowing through the sheets beside me, and for a long time I wrestled in my sleeping bag, which was far to small for me. The night didn't pass well but thankfully I slept the last few hours before the dawn.In the morning we had breakfast, and moments before our departure said our goodbyes to the friends we'd made and the people we'd remember from this long and eye opening trek. I gathered what emails and addresses I could from everyone and then both Blake and I came to Raveesh, we shook hands and thanked him for all his help, it was a mixed bag of gratitude and other feelings, we couldn't have known in at the time but it was a parting that would send us into a much grander adventure in the weeks and months ahead.
