(0/1413 miles) Conrad was given a mobile phone today by Barbara McLeod from Cable &
Wireless. He sent an e-mail.
Thursday, 2 September 1999 Missoula, MT.
(0/1413 miles) Received an e-mail fom Conrad this morning and a phone call to Tring in the
evening. He corrected our erroneous assumptions about his travel over the last few days.
The temperatures have dropped dramatically and last night was close to freezing. He has
reports of snow in the mountains - sounds like fun to come! However the drop in
temperatures over the last few days suits him much better - so much so that he rode the 7
mile Lolo pass to 5,235ft twice!!! John & Carol are in Tring and saw Conrad's
photographs. Not one of Conrad in America!! We will scan a selection of these pictures and
will add them to this web site.
Wednesday, 1 September 1999 Missoula, MT.
(50/1413 miles) Received Conrad's parcel which he sent to Florida - it arrived in Tring
today after being mailed on the 9th August from Arcata, California. Margaret is getting
the films developed today.
