Geocache Description:

This series of caches is dedicated to Westmont’s own Kira Salak.  Perhaps her intrepid spirit of adventure will inspire others.

“I like to travel to places that would make other people cringe. ...”  - Kira Salak

In 1995, before Geocaching was a sport, Kira Salak did what no other woman (let alone 24 year old human) had done. 

Salak undertook an epic, solo jungle trek across the remote Pacific island nation of Papua New Guinea--often called the last frontier of adventure travel. Traveling by dugout canoe and on foot, experiencing the dangers and wonders of a largely untouched world, she became the first woman to traverse PNG. Salak stayed in villages where cannibalism was still practiced behind the backs of the missionaries, meeting mysterious witch doctors and befriending the leader of the OPM guerrilla movement who fought against the Indonesian occupation of Western New Guinea.
