I was told that the mountain range here rises faster to 13,000 feet from sea level faster than any other place in the world. It was amazing to see how high and rugged the jungle peaks were. At the top I was surprised to see yet another village on a small sierra plateau. Just a few hundred feet from the houses the cliff drops away thousands of feet in a massive landslide that looked relatively recent. It would be amazing to meet these people and learn how they have managed to live in a place like that. It would be the same as living near the top of Mt. Rainier, only at 45 degrees and now snow. We made it back to Ukarumpa and I spent the rest of my day in the hangar, but it sure was nice to get out and fly.

That's incredible... been having a lot of fun reading all of these posts and seeing the pics. Praying for ya'll, looking forward to hearing more about God's work when you get back!
I have certainly enjoyed reading everything you are doing. Ian, I hope you know you have been blamed for a lot that has happened at work with Ben, just because it is convenient. Looking forward to having you back.
