Default OT ?

you will need to cross the Appelatian Mountains,
Named for their many names, of course.

I forgot about the numerous names.


Actually, he was pointing out a spelling error. An "appelatian" is a
"name", specifically the name of a wine growing region, and the wine
produced there according to certain legal guidelines. The mountains to
which I refer should have been spelled "Appalachian", as in "appalling",
the word for my spelling.

The only special concern about crossing them was that the pilot would
need to climb above them, or attempt to go through them. To date, no
pilot has actually been able to fly very far through the ground, and
doing so with passengers is frowned upon.
