Chris, just a note to thank you for your podcasts. I am new to my iPod adn podcasts, and yours is one that I will definitely enjoy hearing on a regular basis. I enjoyed the national park episode, having visited many of the parks that your guest mentioned. I also enjoyed the episode on Maui from 2006, though I believe the biking down Haleakala has now been stopped. Thanks for the great work.

Hi Chris-
Just wanted to say thanks for having me on- I was real happy with how the interview sounded.
I wish I had mentioned both Wright Brothers National Memorial in North Carolina and Minuteman Missle National Historic Site in South Dakota as two unique parks that I really enjoyed. I had them in my notes, along with many other parks, but how could I get to all of them?
Thanks again for the podcast. Erik Smith
