[Nfbmd] [acb-l] Expedition impossible

[Lloyd Rasmussen]

Here in the Washington area, the ABC station (channel 7) is repeating this
show on Saturday nights at 9 PM.  So I'll be listening for episode 4
tonight.  It should be good, because they have to cross the snowy Atlas
Mountains and Eric Weihenmayer and his team probably know more about
mountain-climbing than many of the competitors.
