LeBron's Homecoming All About Image, Big Business
It is beautifully reassuring, in this era of egomaniacal athletes forgetting their roots and their peeps and even what day it is, that LeBron James is returning to Cleveland. We will call it The Revision, a much smarter approach to a career move than The Decision, which reeked of superagents and Big TV and all things antithetical to Akron, Ohio. As a business tour de force who someday will leave sports as a fully vested billionaire, LeBron Inc. could have set up shop anywhere. James chose to flip back to northeast Ohio, his home region, the place he spurned for Miami four years ago in a bloodletting that led to burned jerseys, hard feelings and a hysterical letter from Dan Gilbert, owner of the Cavaliers, accusing James of everything but mass murder.
``Before anyone ever cared where I would play basketball, I was a kid from Northeast Ohio,?? James said/wrote in a first-person Sports Illustrated essay, revealing his choice from his brain to our eyes without media-middleman interference. ``It?s where I walked. It?s where I ran. It?s where I cried. It?s where I bled. It holds a special place in my heart. People there have seen me grow up. I sometimes feel like I?m their son. Their passion can be overwhelming. But it drives me. I want to give them hope when I can. I want to inspire them when I can. My relationship with Northeast Ohio is bigger than basketball. I didn?t realize that four years ago. I do now.??
All of which is nice. But realistically, how much of The Revision is about heart, home and family ? and how much is about having zero chance of winning titles in Miami and looking for the easiest escape hatch for him, his family and, perhaps most importantly, his image? I don?t wish to be cynical, but having watched LeBron?s business power-plays this month and throughout his career, I must be sensible about his motives. This is one of the biggest brand fix jobs in American sports history, and having a chance to polish up The Decision residue ? not only in Cleveland, but across America and Planet Earth ? is made all the more convenient by a closed championship door with the Heat.
It wasn?t long ago when James was defining himself by the numbers of championships he won. ``I want to be the greatest of all time, and that?s my motivation. It?s that simple,?? he said last fall. It wasn?t long ago when James said he wanted to be on a basketball Mount Rushmore, among the four elite players ever. Hell, it wasn?t long ago when James stood on a stage at American Airlines Arena, with Dwyane Wade and Chris Bosh, and rattled off the number of NBA titles he planned on winning: ``Not two, not three, not four, not five, not six, not seven ? And when I say that, I really believe it. I?m not just up here blowing smoke for these fans. Because that?s not what I?m about. I?m about business.??
Turns out the business plan lasted four years, with two championships and two losses in the Finals. It was an impressive run, but not historic in the context of Michael Jordan?s Bulls, the Lakers and Celtics of the 1980s and the Tim Duncan/Gregg Popovich Spurs of the last 15 years. LeBron?s grand design of a South Beach dynasty was blown to pieces in the NBA Finals by those Spurs. And once he realized Wade was breaking down physically, Bosh wasn?t capable of joining him as a consistent alpha dog, and that Pat Riley couldn?t sign Kyle Lowry or Marcin Gortat beyond financial commitments to the Big Three, James knew he couldn?t win anymore in Miami and only would suffer annual agony. If he stayed with inferior teams, he ran the risk of looking like a loser who couldn?t fulfill his promise.
So, he took the escape hatch and ran home. This way, it cushions the blow of another mercenary sea change, while the accompanying heartwarming feel ? who goes home again? ? heals whatever image cracks remained. That is the intent, anyway. LeBron has a very smart business team that was pushing for this all along. He also has a mother and wife who were pushing for this all along. I just have to chuckle when he says he no longer cares as much about titles but is following a higher ``calling.?? Just months ago, he wanted to be the greatest ever and wanted to max out his championships ? and now he doesn?t care about championships as much as becoming a community leader in northeast Ohio?
``I feel my calling here goes above basketball,?? he said/wrote. ``I have a responsibility to lead, in more ways than one, and I take that very seriously. My presence can make a difference in Miami, but I think it can mean more where I?m from. I want kids in Northeast Ohio, like the hundreds of Akron third-graders I sponsor through my foundation, to realize that there?s no better place to grow up. Maybe some of them will come home after college and start a family or open a business. That would make me smile. Our community, which has struggled so much, needs all the talent it can get. In Northeast Ohio, nothing is given. Everything is earned. You work for what you have. I?m ready to accept the challenge. I?m coming home.??
Again, all very sweet. But how much of that is a smokescreen for the horrific ending in Miami, with three ignominious losses to the state-of-the-art Spurs? If the Heat had won the series, would LeBron be waxing poetic about helping northeast Ohio? It smacks of a convenient justification, the first words of which were uttered on the eve of Game 5, when he talked about life being bigger than basketball. Sounded to me like he couldn?t bear the thought of failing again.
He?s the one who vowed to be the best of all time. Fact is, he can?t be. Michael Jordan went to six NBA Finals, won all six and was MVP in all six. Who is going to touch that, in our lifetime and beyond? Anyone? It is no disgrace that James has won two, but can we please stop this LeBron vs. Michael idiocy? There is no comparison. James is not going to be the best of all time. Stop tweeting.
What he can be, I hope, is a man who remains in Cleveland for the rest of his career and doesn?t ? ugh ? opt out in three years. There will be a window that allows him to make more money when the league?s salary cap increases, but he shouldn?t use that opportunity to launch LeBronageddon III and take us for another annoying ride. That could happen if the Cavaliers don?t win championships. And sorry to disrupt the party in Cleveland, but they aren?t winning championships anytime soon. They have a coach, David Blatt, who never has spoken to James, never has coached in the NBA and has spent two decades overseas. They have a new general manager, David Griffin, who barely knows James. The talent is promising ? Kyrie Irving, a budding superstar at point guard, and presumably Andrew Wiggins, the raw but gifted rookie. But Irving, who always has been the alpha dog, will have to adjust to being the sidekick who dishes James the ball, which was easy for Wade to do in his 30s but not for a 22-year-old who was MVP in the All-Star Game. And what if Wiggins struggles? James will need two or three years as a babysitter, at least, and there are no guarantees he will win another title. At least he knows the challenge ahead.
``I?m not promising a championship. I know how hard that is to deliver,?? he said/wrote, more or less admitting he shouldn?t have made the seven-title suggestion. ``We?re not ready right now. No way. Of course, I want to win next year, but I?m realistic. It will be a long process, much longer than it was in 2010. My patience will get tested. I know that. I?m going into a situation with a young team and a new coach. I will be the old head. But I get a thrill out of bringing a group together and helping them reach a place they didn?t know they could go. I see myself as a mentor now and I?m excited to lead some of these talented young guys. I think I can help Kyrie Irving become one of the best point guards in our league. I think I can help elevate Tristan Thompson and Dion Waiters. And I can?t wait to reunite with Anderson Varejao, one of my favorite teammates.??
He doesn?t mention Wiggins, perhaps because the rookie could be packaged in a deal with Minnesota for the league?s ultimate double-double machine, Kevin Love. Which brings us to the other bizarre twist, James? relationship with Glibert. You remember the letter Gilbert wrote to Cleveland fans after LeBron?s departure, ripping James as ``a former hero?? for his ``cowardly betrayal?? and ``narcissistic, self-promotional?? TV stunt. You remember how it infuriated Cleveland fans, to the point extra police were summoned every time James returned with the Heat or even to his suburban mansion. Now, suddenly, all is forgiven?
That?s what LeBron said/wrote: ``To make the move I needed the support of my wife and my mom, who can be very tough. The letter from Dan Gilbert, the booing of the Cleveland fans, the jerseys being burned ? seeing all that was hard for them. My emotions were more mixed. It was easy to say, ?OK, I don?t want to deal with these people ever again.? But then you think about the other side. What if I were a kid who looked up to an athlete, and that athlete made me want to do better in my own life, and then he left? How would I react? I?ve met with Dan, face-to-face, man-to-man. We?ve talked it out. Everybody makes mistakes. I?ve made mistakes as well. Who am I to hold a grudge???
But it?s more than a letter. When James left, Gilbert seethed at the thought that a sexy, high-resources franchise in Miami could form a superteam, making titles more difficult for a team in the Rust Belt. Now, ironically, it is Gilbert who is trying to acquire Love to create a superteam with James and Irving. And it is Riley, in south Florida, whose empire just crumbled, a cruel blow for a mammoth NBA figure since the 1980s. He immediately threw money at Bosh, who will get $118 million for five years, but unless Riley has a miracle card up his sleeve, the reign is over.
Does breaking bread with James make Gilbert a hypocrite? Sure. But it?s not against the law to be a hypocrite, or James would be joining the Cavs? owner in the slammer. Wasn?t it just yesterday when he spoke of being lifelong teammates and pals with Wade and Bosh? ``The hardest thing to leave is what I built with those guys," James said/wrote. ``I've talked to some of them and will talk to others. Nothing will ever change what we accomplished."
Is it a matter of LeBron simply maturing in the four years since The Decision? Or is this just part of the smooth public-relations campaign, centered around coming home? I choose the latter, contrary to the blather that James is ``a genius,?? something only a fanboy like Bill Simmons could conjure up while ignoring the big business at hand. ``Remember when I was sitting up there at the Boys & Girls Club in 2010? I was thinking, This is really tough,?? James said/wrote. ``I could feel it. I was leaving something I had spent a long time creating. If I had to do it all over again, I?d obviously do things differently, but I?d still have left. Miami, for me, has been almost like college for other kids. These past four years helped raise me into who I am. I became a better player and a better man. I learned from a franchise that had been where I wanted to go. I will always think of Miami as my second home. Without the experiences I had there, I wouldn?t be able to do what I?m doing today.??
So he went to Phi Slamma Heat, won twice, lost twice and got his degree. That?s the narrative, and he?s sticking to it. ``When I left Cleveland, I was on a mission,?? he said/wrote. ``I was seeking championships, and we won two. But Miami already knew that feeling. Our city hasn?t had that feeling in a long, long, long time. My goal is still to win as many titles as possible, no question. But what?s most important for me is bringing one trophy back to Northeast Ohio.
``I always believed that I?d return to Cleveland and finish my career there. I just didn?t know when. After the season, free agency wasn?t even a thought. But I have two boys and my wife, Savannah, is pregnant with a girl. I started thinking about what it would be like to raise my family in my hometown. I looked at other teams, but I wasn?t going to leave Miami for anywhere except Cleveland. The more time passed, the more it felt right. This is what makes me happy.??
Good. Whatever makes LeBron happy makes me happy. It?s just that I can?t imagine him accepting TWO as the final championship number. And I can?t believe it took him weeks to announce what was apparent last month.
The absurdity of it all crystallized on Day 10 of The LeBronathon, unless it was Day 11. That is when the TV network that has helped make his latest career decision drama an exercise in absurdity declared that it is indeed an exercise in absurdity. Michael Wilbon was the one who said so on ESPN, along with Bob Ryan, and through it all, LeBron had to be laughing his ass off before handing off the story to ESPN?s rivals at SI.com.
By keeping the world waiting for a second full week, James seemed to be exacting The Revenge. Maybe it was payback for being destroyed by the media after The Decision, for being scrutinized in the social media era like few athletes. Maybe it was a way of making Cleveland appreciate his sincerity and loyalty when he did decide to return. Maybe he also was tweaking the man who brought him to Miami, Riley, who chose strong words last month when he challenged James to remain with the Heat: ``You've got to stay together if you've got the guts, and you don't find the first door and run out of it if you have an opportunity.??
He ran out the door.
All along, LeBron was the one in complete command with all the power, causing billionaire owners to sweat, accomplished basketball executives to scream, clueless media people to look wrong with their guessing-game reporting. Clearly, no one ever has toyed with the sports machine quite like LeBron James, CEO of LeBron Inc., and he really should thank the late Curt Flood, whose life was ruined in the 1970s when he fought for the right to free agency and won. It is Flood who made it possible for James and Carmelo Anthony to have their fun and freedom while making us look like fools for being breathlessly intrigued.
I trust you had something better to do on these summer days and nights than a 24/7 monitoring of the James Watch. ESPN was a victim of its own smothering of the story, painfully trotting out analysts who had no information. At least reporter Brian Windhorst should be applauded for refusing to guess where James was headed. ``Not my role,?? he said on SportsCenter.
It wasn?t my role, either, though I will say James? options weren?t great anywhere. Per Cleveland, does he really want to babysit for two or three years in his early 30s, losing opportunities to add to the ring haul that will define him? If the Cavs get Love, it changes the story dramatically. Short of that ploy, LeBron?s June nights will be free.
At least he stayed true to his home region. A river once burned in Cleveland, but that would be mere smoke compared to the inferno of James burning that city twice. Even a mercenary has a heart. It seemed inconceivable James would be so cruel, leaving me to at least wonder if he would end his four-year Miami vacation to go home. Gilbert, while never apologizing to James, did say he was wrong. ``Looking back now, that probably was not the most brilliant thing I've ever done in my life," he said. And he did tweet with great excitement when James made his announcement, saying his young son now had permission to wear James? jersey again.
People are writing that LeBron James is the heir to Michael Jordan, Magic Johnson and Larry Bird. That is b.s. Johnson played for one team his entire career, as did Bird. Jordan wanted to stay in Chicago his entire career, but left prematurely because the cheapass owner didn?t want to keep the band together.
LeBron is an opportunist who has succeeded wildly in some ways, failed miserably in others. He is not Magic or Larry. Certainly, he is not Michael.
He?s just a 21st-century mercenary who found an opportune getaway scheme. Nike, Coca-Cola, Samsung, McDonald?s and the other companies who line his pockets with $42 million a year ? they?ll all love the Coming Home narrative, pure or otherwise.

Berkeley defenders Josh Simmons and Branden Williams led the Stags to a huge win Friday night against Hilton Head.
Simmons picked off one of two Berkeley interceptions on the night and Williams held North-South All-Star Khalil Lewis to minimal yardage as the Stags downed the Seahawks 26-6.
Kicker Vance Bailey kept the Seahawk offense pinned with their backs against the end zone and kicked four field goals plus two PATs, the dagger to the Hilton Head heart coming in the fourth quarter, a career long 42-yard boot to put the Stags up by 20. Bailey accounted for 14 of the Stags 26 points.
Joseph Dress and Josh Sellers added third quarter touchdowns to even Berkeley's record at 5-5 and give Coach Jeff Cruce his first non-losing regular season as coach of the Stags.
With the win Berkeley will open the playoffs in the Myrtle Beach area, unofficially against Myrtle Beach, which upset North Myrtle Beach 30-28.
For bracket watchers, the win also moves Berkeley out of Socastee's bracket. The Braves have bounced the Stags out of the playoffs each of the last two seasons.
Playoff brackets will be finalized on Sunday. See Wednesday's Independent for complete football playoff news.

Hudson County has a higher percentage of uninsured residents than any other county in the state, according to a study comparing the overall health of the state's 21 counties.
According to the Robert Wood Johnson Foundation/ University of Wisconsin's County Health Rankings and Roadmap, 23 percent of Hudson County residents do not have health insurance.
The next highest among the counties are Cumberland and Passaic, at 20 percent. Hunterdon County, in western New Jersey, has the highest rate of insured residents, with just 8 percent not covered.
Jersey City Medical Center is "working with the state Department of Health and the federal government as Hudson County has a very large uninsured population, said Susan Walsh, medical director of JCMC's Accountable Care Organization. "We are helping get people into the expanded Medicaid and other new federal programs as these become available."
Overall, Hudson County ranked 15th among the 21 counties in overall health. Hunterdon County was ranked the healthiest county, while Cumberland County was ranked the least healthy.
Hudson was ranked last in the "clinical care" category, which includes percentage of uninsured, number of primary care physicians and dentists, preventable hospital stays and health screenings. The county ranks 19th in "health factors," which takes into account smoking, obesity, physical inactivity excessive drinking
"Hudson County has a documented shortage of primary care physicians and we have worked carefully during the past four years to recruit and retain community-based physicians," said Mark Rabson, JCMC spokesman. "Primary care is important as it directly affects preventable disease and hospital readmission."
Hudson County also ranked near the bottom in the percentage children living in a single-parent household, at 44 percent. Only Essex County, at 45 percent, had more.

I had never had brie cheese before today and I had always been aware that the rind was edible so i happily ate the rind with the cheese ans it was good. I was just looking up some things to use with the wheel i was given and saw that the rind of brie is made from mold from bread. Does that mean there is gluten in it?
the mold grew on the bread, the mold is not the bread
yeah you are
lolBaby if you time travel back far enough you can avoid that work because the dust won't be there. You're too pretty to be working that hard.
you got jokes, you funny
yeah you are

FWIW, unless you're hypersensitive to gluten, I don't think trace gluten contamination is anything to worry about. For example, most of the nuts, chocolate and even vitamins I buy are "processed on equipment shared with wheat and soy." I couldn't care less.
I think gluten is incredibly overrated anyway. Mr. Gluten gets way more credit than he deserves. The average Primal seems to be terrified of gluten but will happily choke down chicken wings deep fried in rancid vegetable oil at some bar...as long as they're not breaded, of course. Personally, I think the WGA in wheat is more harmful than the gluten for most of us, and I'd rather eat vital wheat gluten stretched into fake vegan "meat" than use salad dressing made from soybean and/or canola and/or cottonseed oil. But that's my opinion.
Relax a bit
Don't put your trust in anyone on this forum, including me. You are the key to your own success.
I'm really "meh" on eating any kind of mold nowadays. I used to like hard cheese's hard rind, but now that I know it's full of mold, I try to avoid it.
But the rind on brie cheese is the best part of it! I buy small rolls where there is a lot of "outside" and share with the dogs the middle and eat the rind all myself!

Gov. Christie signed into law Tuesday a ban on ivory trafficking - targeting an activity enabled by New Jersey's ports, advocates of the crackdown say.
The law, which sets penalties for importing, selling, or purchasing any ivory or rhinoceros horn product, is one of the first in the country, according to Christie's office.
While sponsors say the ban is designed to protect wildlife, they say it has an additional purpose: cutting off a source of terrorist funding.
In announcing new efforts last year to combat elephant poaching, former Secretary of State Hillary Rodham Clinton drew a link between terrorist groups in Africa and ivory trafficking, according to news reports.

If there's one thing John Krasinksi knows, it's that he is a fortunate man in both his professional and personal life.
"If we aren't working, we're at home with the kids," The Hollars star, 36, says of the dynamic he shares in raising daughters Violet, 9 weeks, and Hazel, 2½, with wife Emily Blunt. "We raise our kids, and we're very important and present in our kids' lives.
"But at the end of the day, it's important to preserve your relationship," he continues of the balance he and Blunt find between being parents and being husband and wife. "It's really fun because I have an amazing wife who also will go out on dates on me. We do one date a week at least where it's just us."
When asked what their date nights consist of, Krasinski has a pretty straightforward answer.
"Just go to dinner and talk, it's really easy," The Office alum says. "We don't need much. We just go to dinner and talk and have no baby talk."

Following the intense boogie down at the "after party," the most decorated snowbladers in the world took on Squaw's legendary terrain like never before. Hideous wigs, 80′s one pieces, unnecessary climbing harnesses, ridiculous amounts of Red Bull, and partial nudity helped competitors get the edge in the battle for the coveted golden saucer during the Small Mountain Invitational and Chinese Downhill.

As a Bodean's virgin and the fact that I was invited to lunch without paying attention to where I was going I really didn't know what to expect.

Northern Peru, Chachapoyas
I have been traveling in the last month across the north of Peru and I would like to recommend so much a travel experience I`ve had in this area.
I had heard a lot of Amazonas, Chachapoyas, Kuelap as a different nature and ancient cultures journey and really ,that was the best experience of my visit to Peru.
Casually, some travelers recommend me to visit Chachapoyas ,doing a tour of sustainable tourism with local communities without agency tours.
This travel experience has been the best trip of my life. I promised them to help showing more people know this way of travel across Chachapoyas.
The journey begins in the forest of giant waterfalls in Cuispes where recently there's have been found a waterfall of nearly 900 meters high. There, the Galok family (locals) have a lodge named La Posada Cuispes.
This place in the rain forest is an incredible paradise of waterfalls where few travelers arrive.
The Galok family helps travelers to get to Chachapoyas region cheaply, directly with communities of small villages. For example, I was contacted by the San geronimo community and visited some incredible Sarcophagus of the Chachapoyas culture, helped by the local people of this small town.
I also was contacted by the San Pablo community to get to the Gocta waterfall,this community also helped me.
Then I visited Kuelap, Huaylla Belen Valley and many other places, traveling without assistance from any agencies, just with advices of the Galok family from La Posada de Cuispes.
In this trip I felt the warmth of many people who received benefits from the sustainable tourism, and also visited many amazing places. The human experience have been the best that could happened to me in one of my journeys ever.
You can contact with Cuispes community here,
Address: Chachapoyas
Directions: From Chachapoyas taking the collectivos up to Pedro Ruiz (10 Soles) and taking a "mototaxi"(tradicional vehicle in this area) to Cuispes (10 soles, this price is the same if you are one, two or three people).

Cuispes and Yumbilla waterfalls
Yumbilla waterfall is 895.4 meters (2,937 feet) high and thus higher than Gocta waterfall, which is 771 meters (2,529 feet) high located in Cuispes, very near from Chachapoyas.
I've visited Yumbilla waterfalls six months ago and still I can feel the excitement of exploration which I'd experienced during my trip to the 5th tallest waterfalls in the world. Despite the fact that waterfalls are quite easy to reach (in a dry period) and a new hostel was built in a nearby village, there aren't any tourists. In my opinion it is because of lack of information about Yumbilla and also because of great emphasis on Gocta waterfalls (Yumbillas smaller sister). On the other hand, I found that the absence of tourists going to Yumbilla is really an advantage, because you have an opportunity to live an adventure, to feel yourself like an explorer, to experience a very authentic feel of the cloud forest and the natural kindness of local people.
I didn't know about Yumbilla's existence until one old man whom I met in Chachapoyas market while eating a lunch told me about as he told "altiiiiiisima catarata" very high waterfall near Pedro Ruiz town. He told me that on a mountain behind Pedro Ruiz town there is a small village called Cuispes where I could find accommodation and further details on how to reach the waterfall. I rechecked info given by the man in google maps in local net café and it was true. So as I've been traveling without exact planning I decided to take a chance and try going to Cuispes in a search for a Yumbillas waterfall.
Pedro Ruiz is located on the most important road from Chachapoyas so it is relatively easy to get there (sometimes the road to Pedro Ruiz is closed due to the landslides). As I remember I paid 7 Soles going in a 5 seated car and in Pedro Ruiz I took a mototaxi to Cuispes for 10 Soles. As mototaxi starts crawling up to the mountain, incredible landscapes start to appear and 30 min ride does not seem anything else but entertaining.
I'll never forget the view which I saw when I stepped got out of mototaxi in Plaza de Armas (central square) of Cuispes. Behind the little village aprox. 2 KM away, there was a huge ~300m tall and ~6km wide mountain wall (numbers calculated in google earth). I could also see two waterfalls pouring down from the top of the "wall". This spectacular type of landscape which I'd never seen in South America before, made me feel like being near to a border with some mystical "fairytale world''. And from that moment all my stay there had something what remembered me of dreaming a very deep dream.
In a central square of Cuispes I met Jarvik a young local man from Cuispes. He has studied agronomy in other town but came back to his village because he wants to help Cuispes to grow and make it more popular place between travelers. Jarvik and his family administrate the hostel called "La Posada de Cuispes". He built hostel with his friend from Spain who loves Cuispes very much. The place is brand new, very cozy and the rooms are beautiful, it was really surprising to find such place in a totally non-touristic village. More information on the hostel you can find in a link here: https://www.facebook.com/laposadadecuispes. I arrived after the noon so it was already late to go on a trek to Yumbilla so I decided to walk around the village and prepare for tomorrows hike.
The more time I spent in cuispes, the more I loved it. The cows, donkeys, dogs, chickens and ducks were cruising al other the village, there were kids playing on the streets, people returning from the fields were smiling to me asking questions about me, my country, etc. In evening I 've spente time chating with Jarvik. He told me the legends of Cuispes and another stories which in Cuispes are believed to be true. After the chat I enjoyed looking into incredibly bright night-sky.
In the morning I had an incredible breakfast with local fruits. Then about 8 o'clock i and Jarvik started climbing from Cuispes village towards the waterfall wall. For the first hour we were walking on a dirt road. Then we have entered the jungle and continued on a little path. It was very interesting to walk in a Jungle with Jarvik as he was showing a lots of different local medicinal plants plants and explaining how they are used to treat various diseases. The path through the jungle was very beautiful the hundred years old trees and founds of lianas looked amazing. Time to time the path went through open forest places from where we could see stunning landscapes of Cloud Forest. One hour before we reached Yumbilla we've found a very nice observation deck. This platform is on quite high and it is a great place to sit an enjoy calmness of jungle or watch how flocks of parrot flying disturb that calmness with they loud squealing. Later we had to cross under some waterfall that was very interesting. Finally after about three hours of easy walk by the jungle path we've reached Yumbilla.
It is always exciting to reach waterfalls , the more close you go the louder it becomes. And it was great to see Yumbilla world's 5th tallest waterfall in front of you and just you (and Jarvik). I've been to Gocta, yes, it was impressive, but a jungle path leading to Gocta is full of another tourists and there is not so much authenticity left, whereas Yumbilla is so natural. It is impossible to explain the feeling of walking through the path with Jarvik, who sometimes helps with machete to clean the way, and finally reaching the waterfall in its natural environment.
We spent a while contemplating the waterfall had a snack and on the same day we managed to get back to Cuispes. On the way back I felt tired but very happy because of beautiful views I have seen and the stories I've heard from Jarvik during our walk. When we returned to La Posada, we had a nice diner and I went to sleep. In the morning I felt little sad to leave Cuispes and still sometimes today remembering my stay in Cuispes seems like beautiful dream.

This museum holds the treasures found from the burial chullpas at Laguna de los Condores.
Note that there are over 200 mummies and a huge quantity of ceramics, textiles, wooden artefacts, and everyday objects found in this site which is near a beautiful lake in the jungle of this region.
What is interesting about the mummies is that many are wrapped in cloth and amusingly, some of them had faces drawn on the cloth (like using a black marker to draw a skeletonal funny face). I swear, it looks just like someone is pulling your leg.
To get to Lemeybamba to visit the museum is quite tricky. There is a microbus that leaves Chachapoyas in the afternoon 12-1pm (but there are lots of delays, as expected) which means you arrive at 4-5pm. The museum which is still a 5-min taxi ride away, closes at 5pm. So, if you hurry and arrive, you may be able to persuade the museum official to let you enter to visit it hurriedly.
The microbus back to Chachapoyas is an even greater mystery. When I booked it the evening before, various people told me the microbus would leave at 3am, 4am or 5am. So, whatever it is, just pack everything ready and try and be half-awake between these times and wait for the beeping of the horn when the microbus comes to collect you.
Gocta falls now opening
Gocta Falls, the third highest in the world, are now opening for Tourism. The falls were kept secret by the locals of this area because they feared an ancient curse if they revealed it's location. The falls are supposed to be protected by a white haired mermaid like spirit whos hair can be seen flowing down the massive U shaped walls at the bottom of the falls. The trail to the falls is reached via a one and a half hour ride from Chachapoyas on newly improved road that can accomodate 4 wheel drived vehicles. After reaching the small village of Cochachimba in the San Pablo district, a trail leads the intrepid traveler on a 3 to 5 hour tek to and from the falls. The falls appear on no map at this time and a guide is highly recommended. Although no formal equipment or training is required the trail is primitive, muddy and steep in many locations.

Wow. just to be at a place so unseen and so spectacular was a highlight...to save time, we just took the trip through our hotel, think it was a bit overpriced, but it was the going rate, and we didn't want to spend 2 days hping to catch a taxi back...
The guide was sweet, they take turns from the 'town' so everyone gets to make a little money, and we had lots of broken spanish laughs. Hard hike for us lazy city folks, easy for those in average shape, but fun nontheless, and the falls speak for themselves.
Don't make it all the way to chachapoyas without this stop. And go to the one place that serves beer in the cheap market at the edge of Chacha. We were the first tourists to ever go there and drink (they were scared of us at first) but now they love them some drunken Gringos.

If you consult with the Tourist Information, there are actually countless other ruins and interesting sites, like Levanto, Laguna de los Condores, etc....
The problem is that they are all located spread out from Chachapoyas, about 2-3 hours away by car, and along terrible terrible terrible (and often, very dangerous) road conditions.
This means that to visit them, you have to form a group and share a taxi. The drive there plus the visit and the drive back means that it will take up 1 day for each sight.
Hence, you should find out loads of information and decide which are the ones to target for and arrange with your driver.
Karajia funerary site must be one of the most remarkable tombs you will ever come across... with the wooden-clay coffins still in their original location, set into an impressive cliff face!
Mummies wrapped in cloth were placed inside. The coffins were constructed of stone, wooden poles and slapped with clay. Interestingly, the statues are shaped like humans with a huge head.
Perched up in the cliff overlooking Utucubamba river, there used to be more than 20 such coffins (or so my guide told me). While seemingly impossible to reach, grave-robbers still managed to rappel down and make off with the coffins. Now, these few remaining ones are 'protected' by the villagers. I mean, there is no security guards, no alarm system, no barriers. The villagers just had to keep an eye on them.
How these coffins remain unscathed all these hundreds of years is nothing short of a miracle, considering how exposed they are. Think about the mummies entombed deep within multiple coffins and into burial chambers dug way down in the dry desert of Egypt. These are NOT like that at all.
But I supposed the Chachapoyans knew what they were doing and there must be a natural overhanging perch to shelter the coffins from the rain.
That's why you arrive awestruck, gaping with your mouth wide open, and you are most likely one of the few tourists to have made it as this part of Peru is much less accessible than others.
To get here, form a group and share a taxi. The drive is 2.5 hours long, through very windy and treacherous mountainous road, full of pot-holes and if it had been raining, argh... utterly muddy and wet. Very terrible.
From Cochane, you have to go on foot for another 2.5 hours through undulating hills and tranquil farms. And then, wow!! Highly recommended!!
Kuelap is a prime example of Chachapoyan architecture. The Chachapoyas, also called the Warriors of the Clouds, were a group of Andean people living in the cloud forests of the Amazonas region.
The Kuelap fortress is located at the summit of a hill at the altitude of more than 3,000m above sea level. It is made up of massive stone walls that curved around. The reason for the curved walls is because a straight wall can collapse easily during earthquakes, but a curved wall is more stable.
Imagine holding a piece of rectangular strip of cardboard, it falls down if it is straight, but if you compress it such that it is wavy, it is less likely to fall down.
From its massize size, Kuelap's construction needed a lot of effort, its complexity surpassed other archaeological structures in the Americas in size. The structure is almost 600m long and its walls, 19m high.
The fortress has very narrow entrances and to enter it, one needs to climb up a narrow flight of stone-steps. This naturally means that any enemy entering will be knocked down in one fell swoop when he arrives, panting heavily (considering also the high altitude), at the top.
There are more than four hundred buildings within. These constructions inside are mainly cylindrical, with pointy grass roofs (which no longer exist, of course). The decorated walls have friezes that seem to symbolise eyes or birds (like V-shapes, or multiple elongated diamonds enclosed within one another).
Get a group to share a taxi to take you here.
It is possible to take a microbus. Near the market around Jr Libertad and Jr Ortiz Arrieta, you can hear some guys calling out 'Kuelap, Kuelap'. Try to get there early in the morning, before 8 or 9am to confirm the time. The microbus will take you to Kuelap and even wait for you before it embarks on the return trip. Check time with the driver. Note that this is a regular microbus for locals, so along the way, it will stop for passengers.
The waterfalls at Pedro Ruiz. The Gocta is thought to get its name from "gota", water drop, but nobody really knows the origen. The Gocta is the third tallest waterfall in the world, 770 something meters above sea level, and with its two tier fall allows you to see the entire waterfall from the very bottom, take a bath in the second tier, or see it from the very top. Each walk takes about 1.5 - 2 hours and you have to pay a small fee to the city that hosts the walk which will provide you with a guide. Really easy trail and quite nice. If you go early enough you might be able to see some rainforest fauna, such as the gallito de las rocas y el mono cola amarilla.
Directions: There is no regular combi that comes to Pedro Ruiz, you might have to wait a bit. Taxis are alwys an option, but it will be around US$30, best to get a group of 4 and hire a taxi for the day.

Being here will make you understand why the took the name of Chachapoyas, cloud people.
Not really a fortress but a city, Kuelap is thought to have nested around 4000 people in its more than 400 individual constructions. Chachapoyas was not a culture per say but more a fusion of different tribes fighting against a single enemy, the Incas, and it is in Kuelap where you see the fusion. We can see different types of constructions, different ornaments & motives (see pictures), etc. On its different levels, 3 of them total, a distinct social status can be observed. Some people, however, think that Kuelap wasn't home to the Chachapoyas, but more of a place where people could look for refuge in case of a war and that most of its buildings were dedicated as warehouses for food. Some points to look here are the needlepoint entrance, which makes it easier to defend the entrance to the fortress with just a few people and the placement of the fortress against a (practically) cliff, with its towers as sentinels.
Your admission fee (around US$ 4 in 2006) gets you a guide.
Address: Overlooks the city of Tingo
Directions: Get here from Chachapoyas by combi (take it at the Chachapoyas main square) to the town of Tingo and then walk up the mountain (2.5 - 3 hour easy walk) or take a taxi straight to Kuelap
- Backpacking
A few hours by car out of Chachapoyas are the Karajia sarcophogii perched on a mountainside. There is a small museum in the town next to the site that was unfortunately closed when we visited. However, my tour guide went to the trouble of emailing me photos and descriptions of the displays inside the museum after I got home from my trip! The drive alone was well worth the trip with spectacular views of the northern andes.
Directions: To get here you could hike, hire a taxi, or organize a tour guide and car in Chachapoyas.

One of the best day trips from Chachapoyas (in my humble opinion of course) is to visit Kuelap. This is a pre-incan fortress up on top of a mountain (kind of like that southern neighbour, Machu Picchu) only without the massive tourist infrastructure. If you've made it as far as Chachapoyas, you're also capable of making it to Kuelap, just arrange your transportation in town and bring some seat cushions if you value your bottom.
Kuelap gave me a real lost-city feeling considering we were the only people visiting the entire complex that day. The remote location keeps you well off the beaten track and is extremely relaxing if you've battled the crowds at Machu Picchu. The site guardian can provide a tour or you can wander through yourself with a small guidebook available for purchase in several languages. The entrance fee is 11 soles and goes to the Instituto Nacional de Cultura Amazonas to fund further excavations and restorations.
Address: about three hours out of Chachapoyas
Directions: Taxi or private vehical are your two main options, or you can use one of a handful of local tourist agencies that are starting to spring up.
You can also hike there, information is available in town.

Plaza de Armas
La Plaza de Armas is the term used in most of Peru to designate the main plaza in town. Chachapoyas' plaza de Armas is a lovely town square in the center part of town. I loved this plaza. I loved spending the afternoon people watching.
The entrance to Chachapoyas and your departure point to Laguna de los Condores. Unfortunately because of time I couldnt visit it (requires 3 days there and back) but ill pdate you on it when i do it.
