NOM touchstone - thanks!

[Hagoth]

I am currently in Peru flying drones for an archaeological survey of a pre-Inca site. To my surprise and delight, for the first time since I arrived in Peru, I have enough bandwidth to access NOM (albeit at an excruciatingly slow up/download rate). I can't tell you how nice it is to have a little internet home I can visit with familiar faces - even if they're avatars . I'm I'm a village where they still use burrows for transportation and the hostel I'm staying at is very primitive and a bit cockroach-y, so the familiarity of NOM is a nice diversion. Just wanted to say thanks... assuming this message-in-a-bottle will reach your shore.

Sounds like fun. You will have to give a mission report when you get back.

Sounds like you're having an incredible adventure! I'd love to hear more about it after you get back. Safe travels!!

Are you sure you haven't just joined the CIA? "Archeological survey" eh? Nice cover story. Have fun Mr. spy.

Hello!

News flash! We just excavated a stack of metal plates with heioglyph-like characters*

Very jealous of your current adventure.

Hopefully you can return and report and maybe even a few pix...

[DPRoberts]

You are fortunate to be persuing your passion this way. I hope you find a place to post some of the aerial footage.

We miss you Hagoth. Say hi to any Cureloms and Curmoms you run across for us and best of luck in surveying the Nephite artifacts.

[No Tof]

My envy runs deep.

Enjoy

Id give a senine of silver to join you down there.

You have an exciting job! At least to Silver Girl, who's most exciting times at work involve memes on the Internet.

Unfortunately I'm not getting paid . But I am getting graduate school credit.

If you don't mind sharing exactly where you're located, so church spies can hunt you down ( ), what part of Peru?
I toured the country and my favorite part was the sacred valley. Stayed in "Casa de Wow" in Ollantaytambo. The owner took us on his roof and explained interesting legends, pointing out parts of mountains that looked like people's profiles. I liked the climate and general feel there.

What have you liked?

[MoPag]

Smuggle home a baby tapir! Or at least try to ride one!

Ha! You just gave yourself away. Peru schmeru. Liar liar, pants on fire, you are really near Manchester, NY .

Have fun out there.

Newme, sorry, I've been trying to respond for days but couldn't connect. The long answer was lost each time. Here's the short answer: I'm in the northwest coastal region known a Lambeyeque.

Let us know if you unearth any ships that look like a bowl.

I'm back in Zion again. Wow, what a crazy, fascinating experience. I saw civilizations that ranged from 5800 years ago right up to the time of Spanish Conquest, so the Americas were massively populated long before and after BoM times. No gold plates, no wooden submarines. Lots of victims of sacrifice to the Decapitator God. He's a trinitarian god, by the way, who manifests in spider, octopus and bird form - all with scary faces.

Right after my initial post I started having more and more internet connection problems and I finally just gave up for a while. It's good to be back in the ward.
