It was interesting to see what was the same and what is different a hundred years later. Most of the roads are better. :)

Let me know of any changes.

Thanks,

Hi M! Another nice reading, and what a long chapter! Just a few edits please:

Around 57:08 - heard "would not have plastered his walls" should be "would not have plastered his houses"
Around 57:01 - heard "habitations to the external echoes," should be "habitations to the eternal echoes,"
Around 19:20 - repeat of "ensanguined"
Around 15:21 - repeat of "gashes"
Around 15:04 - repeat 3x of "cholla bound"
Sorry about the repeats. I think I drifted off for a few seconds while I was editing. Of course that doesn't excuse my having the wrong words.

Attached is the revised file.

New time 1:09:35


Around 57:08 - heard "would not have plastered his walls" should be "would not have plastered his houses" 57:03 now
Around 57:01 - heard "habitations to the external echoes," should be "habitations to the eternal echoes," 56:56 now
Around 19:20 - repeat of "ensanguined" 19:14 now
Around 15:21 - repeat of "gashes"- 15:17 now
Around 15:04 - repeat 3x of "cholla bound" ouch :( :oops:

Hope it is okay now.

Thanks,

M

Creepy! PL OK!

Looks like 2031 will be the next date for the possible monk sighting. Shall we plan on meeting there for a LibriVox outing? :lol:

I was doing the math to figure out the next date. It would be a great meet-up event!

Hi Betty! Apologies for the delay in PLing this section.

Another nice reading, and the descriptions were so well written too! Mooney Falls looks beautiful, although I don't think I could manage the hike. I'll just be content to admire from afar.

Just two edits please:

Around 18:06 - heard "With the river floods," should be "With the winter floods,"
Around 8:02 - stumble/repeat on around in "Around the corner of the ledge"
Cheers,
Claire
