That valley is... um... well, you'll see at some point, assuming I get that far.sodhnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00401977288481675599noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5868677170057333329.post-6307927153919353992009-10-09T08:56:37.875-07:002009-10-09T08:56:37.875-07:00I inferred from the "deep enough to cushion t...I inferred from the "deep enough to cushion the vessel" line that he intended to stay on the airship when it, um, landed.
