WARWICK — After the last of his five daughters finished college, Warwick resident Arthur Baxter decided to realize a dream he first had as a kid growing up in Miami: He went to Africa in September 2008, planning to visit Tanzania, go on safari and climb to the top of Mount Kilimanjaro.
On Thursday, July 11, beginning at 6:30 p.m., Baxter will be at the Albert Wisner Public Library for his presentation of “Climbing Mount Kilimanjaro – A Splendid Adventure.”
This program will include Baxter’s personal narrative with more than 100 photos telling the story of a 50-mile, eight-day trek to reach the 19,341-foot summit of Africa’s largest mountain.
