A tale of triumph over adversity. In late 2003, two people over 2000 miles apart were diagnosed with cancer. After three months of surgery, medication, and rehab, they met along the Wasatch Front. This is Heli Trip , the story of Altachic, Plakespear, and the good will of the maggot collective.
All I can say is it was AMAZING!!!!!! TR to follow in the next few days with pics.
I'll be crying at the airport tomorrow. This week has been amazing. Thanks Utards for showing me around. Each day was better and better, and today was one hell of a climax to it. It'll be tough to return to Philly.

I don't know about the rest of the maggot infestation, but I can't wait to read Plakespear's full length TR.
A human being should be able to change a diaper, plan an invasion, butcher a hog, conn a ship, design a building, write a sonnet, balance accounts, build a wall, set a bone, comfort the dying, take orders, give orders, cooperate, act alone, solve equations, analyze a new problem, pitch manure, program a computer, cook a tasty meal, fight efficiently, die gallantly. Specialization is for insects.

Plake, you and AC are class acts and deserved the trip for that reason alone. So glad you could make it. I can't wait to hear about this "climax".

Bump, this is cool. Glad this actually came all together.
Well deserved.
Skiing, where my mind is even if my body isn't.

Just got home. Dropped off the film before I got to my house. Look for full blown TR with pics on Wednesday, Unless AC posts or e-mails me some of the digis she took.
