Kevan spots some MAJESTIC MOUNTAINS. Pat admires how he added the S at the end.
The last three outdoor adventurers of the week are…
Kevan Kolander: Fresno, CA (originally from Ahwanee, near Yosemite); special events coordinator at a local casino; enjoys playing games with friends and family
Stacy Heitman Schlag: Denver, CO; hair colorist in Denver and L.A.; married to Chris for almost seven years, has two little nieces in Minnesota
Rhonda Price: San Diego, CA; legal assistant at an all-female law firm in Downtown San Diego; married for four years with a blended family of five grown kids and four grandkids (including a newborn grandson); enjoys refurbishing curbside furniture
Pat mispronounced Kevan's last name and didn't even try pronouncing his hometown. And Rhonda's eyes watered when talking about her newest grandson.

…is an interesting combination. After Kevan guesses HUGH- … NAPS, he changes the second word to MAPS midway through the countdown and gets the right answer with one second left! Speaking of HIGHWAY MAPS, he'll travel the highways and byways in his EDGE worth $43,065! Final score: $65,505.
Kevan took his time picking his letters, and Pat thought his O pick sounded like a groan.
CHAT: Pat mentions how we used to have highway maps in our glove compartments that were "easy to unfold but impossible to refold." He thinks this makes driving while reading maps as dangerous as driving while using your phone. But Vanna reminds him that you're supposed to stop to read a map. Pat calls this "good advice" from "Auntie Vanna."
