To give credit where credit is due, I am grateful for the
information we were able to collect prior to our trip from the following
sources. As they say, we are all standing on the shoulders of those who came
before us.
1. Lonely Planet Guide to Indonesia: where I got the idea,
liked the sound of it, and put it on the to-do list. An idea is a powerful
thing!
2. These guys’ blog: http://baliemvalleytrekking.blogspot.com/
-- To Jaco Roesch and Nate Roter, a huge thank you for the most complete
description of what we were going to find. Your blog was the reason we brought Thai
chili sauce for the sweet potatoes, and the Mentos for the kids. J It is definitely still
a very relevant read.
3. This guy’s map: http://www.thisboundlessworld.com/papua-map-and-guide-to-independent-trekking-in-the-baliem-valley
-- while not perfect, and not to scale, it proved to be the
best useable map we found on the internet, and served its purpose for us to get
around. We used it every day, and it pretty much made the mission possible.
OK, Good Luck!
