In Search of # 6 entertained me during a week in Spain, where I went to get away from a cold winter in Germany. My home is in Idaho, so I enjoyed the story even more. I just wanted to let you know that in Chapter 3, “The Dalles” is pronounced just like “pals” or “gals” – with a Z sound at the end (not like dolls).

But The Dalles is not north of Mt. Rainier National Park. It is in Oregon, on Interstate 84 in the Columbia River Valley, south and east of Mt. Rainier, and further east from Stevenson, which you also mentioned. But maybe you’ve found a campground we didn’t know about!

Madras, Oregon is pronounced with an emphasis on the firt syllable – MAD-russ – same as “HAD us” or “SAD us” (not mawd-russ).

I’ve recommended your book to a friend who is also an addicted distance bike rider, and he does the Seattle-Portland ride each year.

Thanks for a lot of good laughs!

Hi Damon, I’m listening the #6 at the moment. Having loads of laughs. My wife is getting fed up with me chuckling to my self while listening on my pod.

I agree with your comments on the britsh design of loo, I’ve never liked it. I find that putting some loo roll in the pan before you sit helps stop the splash back.

Do you think you’ll do any more pod casts?

All the best,
Howard
