Nyssa. Oregon
Gentlemen:
In your paper dated April 14.
1966, I note an article headlines
“Travel Guide Lists Places of In
terest in Nyssa Area.” I think
this is a book or pamphlet en
titled “Oregon for the Curious.”
I would like to buy a copy of this
and would be pleased if you could
tell me where I can secure it and
what the cost would be.
Also in the same issue. I see a
picture about the Thunderegg. I
would appreciate any information
you can give me concerning these
rocks; where they can be found
in your area and if they can be
purchased and what the cost
would be.
Yours sincerely.
L. L. LYON
215 Beattie Street
Sterling Colorado
P. S. If my plans hold. I expect
to come through your city during
the forepart of September and
would probably like to see some
of these areas at that time.
(Editorial Note—In answer to
Lyon's first question and for the
benefit of other readers, "Ore
gon for the Curious," priced at
$1.95. is issued by Pan Publish
ing company, 2845 N. E. 56th
