What has TERRY BOONE been up to lately? Terry feels that a recent day at Machu Picchu was not only mystical, but one of the best days of his life (right up there with his one single high school date with ELIZABETH GWARTNEY LOWNEY). Of course I think Terry, and his brother Rick, climbing Huayna Picchu Peak (also called Waynapicchu) in Peru was ranked as one of his best in his life because he survived.
Terry's climb was misting at first, then the rain poured, then misted and continued so they would be soaked to the bone; just the way you want to be when climbing a very treacherous, steep and slippery trail with sheer drop offs up to a thousand feet. As RICK MARCUM and others that have made this climb (I think LAURA KNIGHT ATKINS and JUDI ADAMS MORRIS have been there too) they had to show ID and documents to get on the trail and show again when one gets off the trail. Duh ..you think?
Terry writes, "Whole trip was wonderful. Peru is magical. So many fantastic sites. Cusco is one of the best cities I've ever been to." Terry must have loved it as he is planning to go there again, maybe as early as May 2020, to visit the Peruvian Amazon, Lake Titicaca, and the Nazca lines.
"Looks like a lovely place. Why don't they have roofs on the homes?" :-)
"Aw, gee, bro., this doesn't look so tough .... does it"
"When my eyes get this wide open, it is because I just almost slipped. You would smile too if you just escaped certain death."
"Harrison Ford has nothing on me!"
"
"You would be grinning too if you made it up this high. Besides, I am seeking a modeling contract and like to show off my smile and dimples."
