Dear Jasper,

I recently bought Fourth Bear from Audible, which invariably lead me to Thursday's books. Wonderful stuff, I own several!

I convinced my bride, Bonnie (she's Scottish, to boot!) to take a Thursday Next book deep into Scott Hollow, which is a famous and very limited access 28+ mile cave system in West Virginia. How limited? The owner has built a house around the cave entrance. Attached is a picture of Bonnie reading "The Eyre Affair" at one of the cave's most beautiful sites - the Double Waterfall on the Mystic River. It takes several hours of serious caving to get to this point, so the site is not for the faint of heart.

Your fan,

Don Murdoch

PS - this isn't "dangerous stuff", as her feet are about a meter from the floor. She'd get muddy and wet if she slipped, at best. And she ALWAYS wears a helmet and pads!
