EXCLUSIVE: Taylorsville climber becomes oldest woman to summit Bolivia's highest peak
SAJAMA, Peru () — A climber from Taylorsville has become the oldest woman to reach the summit of Sajama, Bolivia's highest point. On June 4, Carol Masheter, 78, climbed Nevada Sajama during an expedition through the mountains of Bolivia. Just days earlier, Masheter climbed the summit of Acotango, another peak near the Bolivia-Chile border, making her the oldest person (male of female) to do so. Carol Masheter becomes the oldest woman to scale the highest point in Bolivia (Courtesy: Carol Masheter) 'I've been saying 'one more tall peak' for the last 20 years, and I just can't seem to stop I just love it so much,' Masheter told The Summit of Sajama stands 21,462 feet high, and few can say they've reached the top. However, this is far from Masheter's first climb. The first mountain she climbed was in Bolivia in 1997, which is where she learned to adapt to high altitudes and cold weather. By 2008, Masheter summited Mount Everest as a 61-year-old. She says it took about 11 hours to complete the climb. Over 100 conservation organizations urge US Senate to stop sale of public lands Masheter says she after a life-changing event at the age of 50 and encourages aspiring climbers to get out and try it. Now 78 years old, she faces new challenges while climbing. Coming off Sajama was particularly difficult for Masheter, who referred to that leg of the journey as 'the night of 1,000 falls.' 'Instead of thinking about the summit, think about what you need to do in the next five minutes, what you need to do in the next hour, and where you need to be by the end of the day… your goal kind of takes care of itself,' she said. Climbing was not the only adventure of the trip. Masheter was accompanied by Professor Akiko Kamimura of the University of Utah, who went to Bolivia to collect data for a research project. When they weren't climbing, Kamimura and Masheter visited lagunas just outside of La Paz where they found flamingos, llamas, and alpacas Professor Kamimura invited her to come back next year to summit Sajama again. Masheter says she'll have to check with her doctor before braving the journey one more time.

What is a Waymo car?
( — Waymo vehicles have been in headlines over the last few days after anti-immigration enforcement protestors set some of them on fire in Los Angeles. But what are they? A Waymo car is a fully autonomous, self-driving vehicle operated by the company Waymo, a Google subsidiary. It operates on a rideshare service application called Waymo One, which offers on-demand, self-driving transportation in select cities, according to How does ICE know who to deport? Waymo began in 2009 in San Francisco as an experiment and went on in 2016 to become a fully-operational robotaxi service in some major cities. 'The Waymo Driver is the embodiment of fully autonomous technology that is always in control from pickup to destination,' the company said on its website. 'Passengers don't even need to know how to drive. They can sit in the back seat, relax, and enjoy the ride with the Waymo Driver getting them to their destination safely.' Waymo cars are currently available in Phoenix, AZ, San Francisco, Los Angeles, and Austin, TX, according to its website. They are reportedly coming soon to Atlanta, GA, and Miami, FL.
