G'day Big H...............I think You've done a few too many CocaCola's today? Way too High on High Fructose Corn Sludge Mate How high have You pulled an EHP off to even make a wild & woolly guess towards that? Maybe throw some Coke in the petrol tank (Rocket fuel)

Big Thank You (Dhan'yavāda) to VM for all his advice in getting me safely to (and back from) Annapurna Base Camp (ABC).

10 day trek - drinking litres of water, eating garlic soup and spicing up things with TIMBUR. No altitude sickness problems for me (4130 m). You da man!

Epic air pollution in the valleys but fresh air up high. Clouds start to form at 12:30 local time and by 2 in the afternoon everything is clouded out above 3500 m.

The most amazing thing I saw (besides the Yeti) was an R44 landing (and taking off) at ABC! I didn't know they live at 13,500' lol

Thanks again. Safe flights!
