Chapter 13

Venezuela 2002 CE

Linda contacted the Venezuelan government to gain approvals for filming a documentary of Zach free climbing Mount Roraima. Luckily after several transfers, she encountered an official that was familiar with Zach’s adventures and was eager to help. The government saw this as a potential tourist draw and were quick to approve the request with only a few stipulations. First, they would need to fly into Simon Bolivar airport in Caracas. Second, a government official would greet them, and a TV crew would film the welcome and also the departure. Third, Linda would need to provide footage of her filming for use in tourist promotions. Finally, everyone would need the proper paperwork to allow entry into Venezuela. Without hesitation, Linda agreed and thanked the man for his speedy resolution of the request.

After Linda relayed the information to Zach, he called the team together for a meeting to finalize plans. Not liking the prospect of a day-long road trip they looked for an airport closer to the town of Las Claritas. They had selected the area due to its proximity to Montenegro’s compound and a reasonable drive to Roraima. Shawn, who was a private pilot, understood the requirements for landing a plane and found the El Dorado airport, which had a four thousand foot runway. The runway could support their aircraft and was about an hour’s drive from the house Bigfoot had located for them. Just south of Las Claritas an ex-pat had built a large home and was willing to rent it out for the right price, which was not a problem. Next, they made arrangements to have two specially equipped Land Rovers available near the airport. They all agreed two weeks would give them enough time to get setup before Zach did his TV stunt. With everything settled it was time to put their training to the test.

They arrived at the Caracas airport in a glimmering white plane with a golden sunrise on the tail and “Zach Taylor Adventures” emblazoned across the side. As expected, they were met by an official in regal attire and a TV crew. After the official greeting, the TV crew shoved microphones at Linda and Zach and asked the typical interview questions. Once satisfied with the footage the crew thanked Linda, packed up their equipment and left. The five-man team headed to customs to register their presence in the country. As they waited for the last passport to be stamped, there had been a cursory check of the plane by a contraband-sniffing dog. Thankfully the dog had shown no interest in the secret compartment holding four men. The team thought this was more for show than substance since the Venezuelan government provided VIP credentials. The five-man group headed back to the plane and were almost immediately airborne.

A drab gray plane landed at the El Dorado airport. Away from the spotlight that greeted them in Caracas, they wanted to take on a more subdued appearance. When Zach exited the plane, he was baffled by what he saw.
