When I was in the teens only the girl teens were hot. Anybody over 25...well you were old. Now that I am in my 40's...the teens AND all the girls up to the 40's are hot.....so many more choices.

13 years. Been a long time. that is one in the win column of life for you Jon.

thanks for showing me of a place I have dreamed of going to.

its difficult to make it the best when so many folks eat big macs

People have a right to judgement. Sucks. We all do it. We even judge the people who have judgement.

thanks for all the pictures and beta!

What a great story...(well, except for the broken foot). Then again, without the broken foot, you would not have these feelings. Wonderful!

As a side note for everyone...make sure you have your UPDATED car insurance card with you AND vehicle registration. Rarely do they ask for it....I know of two people who they have asked for it. If you do not have that, they will deny you at the border. It has happened.

I like that last shot. It shows a gymnastic move. Nice color too.

nice video montage!

I like the writing. You forgot tent poles? Ha, that has happened many a time to many a folk! It probably won't be your last either. Good times.

To have this opinion it means you are taking the time to read those trip reports without pictures. You are taking your time to read lame stuff. Right?

Doesn't adding something to your public water cost $? That would include maintenance of machines too? People $?

wow! good stuff! take care of freddie. he needs special care

I have been to Pakistan. I was with Greg for about 5-7 days. I visited Korphe. The children there at the time thought he was a god. The village people did too. This thing about receipts in Pakistan and performing an audit. Um. Most people don't know how to read there. And writing a receipt? That is a joke. People don't even have paper. Let alone, can write. It's not really about bribes...it that there is no basis for doing an audit becuase you can't create a paper trail. People don't even wipe their butts with TP. There really is none. The only thing that really gets me is how did Greg "stumble" into Korphe from K2. I have been along that river and been to Concordia and the Gasherbrum valley. If Greg "stumbled" into Korphe, he would have had to gone through Askole. There is absolutely NO BRIDGE before that to Korphe becuase it is on the south side of the river. The trail is on the north side of the river...the south side has 2 or 3 large sections that you must traverse rock climb to get to Korphe...hence why the trail is on the north side of the river. I don't get that part.
