Way up in the Andes
On the road in high Andes Altiplano the Airplane altimater in my truck reading 14,840 ft, for about an hour. But this is not so high. Going over the pass to Colca Caynon it was reading close to 16,000ft! Its a good thing I had 2 Oxy bottles for my prima favorita.

I think I saw that same altimater with a HIGHER reading!!!!!!!
YES!
Altitude is such a gas. I was in western China (aka 'tibet'!) circumambulating Mt. Kailash in May 2000, and noticed the close relationship between hypoxia and spiritual experience.
Similar confusion may have been on the part of the clean up bird crew, as while sitting on the Wesak Valley rock, the vultures weren't sure if meditating people equaled 'next meal'. I thought it was a good idea to shake a leg now and then, or transcendence (or just a harsh peck) may have occurred prematurely.
Enjoy all the Heights!
