I know granite, I was being tongue in cheek. On a side note I remember getting absolutely humbled on a route in the black corridor well below my ability once, that one still stings for me.

All that envy and anger over her having an iphone--they fit in your pocket and I doubt that she was waving it around and flaunting when the attack happened.

A DSLR is electronic gear that is more valuable than an iphone and I'll bet a lot of you take one with your on your trips to places like Peru.

I know granite, I was being tongue in cheek.

I saw that. My comment was for those who would not recognize that you were being ironic.

Hey Dingbat, I don't know if you're pointing this at me but to be clear I say ask away. If however you fail to disclose exactly what the funds are for and offer no accountability to that effect I will personally rip you a new as#@&%e.

Bruce, don't read the Largo fundraising thread. If you do, you will have to rip someone a new as#@&%e, and they'll probably kick your ass.

It's interesting that they haven't updated their blog since thanking everyone for the money??

The best part of this thread is when Riley, desperate for traction, starting citing newschoolers.com. Because the opinions of a bunch of (barely) post-adolescent boys is solid proof of just about whatever you need it to be.

Awesome stuff.

Stupid Americans don't believe anything until they see it on television.

By the the time television gets a hold of the story it's half baked bullsh!t .....

What a cesspool of angry, bitter, judgmental, spiteful, hateful posts. Reconfirming why I want little to no part in this inter-web thingie.

I s'pose I got some benefit out of skimming through this thread...I know who I'd rather not share a beer or a camp fire with.

Y'all enjoy yourselves.

And now you are part of it with an angry, bitter, and judgmental post of your own. And by responding, I'm up one point myself.

The only way you win is not to play.

Lol. Ok fair enough. I don't really FEEL angry or bitter. But I better stop. I might be digging...

What a little cry baby bitch. Please leave since this place is "beneath you". Things would be so much better without your presence.

So far, I guess. The best one last year was definitely the one about rappelling El Cap.

Great gig if you can get hooked up.

Peru fund: Help Jenny, Meghan and Jed

Current Amount:
$5,855.90

*** UPDATE 1/4/13 12pm: This fund has been reopened for additional donations. Jenny, Jed and Meghan will receive the initial transfer of funds today. Thank you for your support. Please feel free to share this link to others.


As many people are already aware, Jenny, Jed and Meghan have been through a very traumatic experience in Peru. They were attacked, beaten and held against their will.


Thankfully, they are alive and safe and recovering in Cuzco. They have suffered injuries, but will all be able to recover fully physically. The link here is an account of the incident written up by Jenny to an agency who is set up to help travelers who experience violence abroad. They have yet to hear back from them.

We have had a lot requests from people who want to help, most importantly, please share this link and story to anyone who will listen to help expedite their journey home and protect other travelers from the same thing."

Patrick, Riley isn't a doctor, he's a very hard working ER nurse and not a 1 percenter (that I know of) that you say he is.
