U: Uncle Hank's Books
Geez... That was a pretty difficult one to think of. Thank goodness for park maps!
V: Vacuum cleaner salesperson.
If Hugo Herschend didn't do this in the 1950 they wouldn't have been able to build the cement stairs and run electric lights throughout the cave and there wouldn't be a cable train and that means there wouldn't be a SDC.
Yes, this was a run-on sentence.

Finally I found something for this! It means wood-carving. Phew...that was a toughy.
