Day 78 in our journey. Things are going very well. We have been rising before the sun comes up in order to travel a ways before the heat of the day. We find a place and rest in the shade of the plants through the hottest part of the day. Travel resumes again and continues until several hours after dark. We are taking advantage of the coolest parts of the day to conserve strength and water.
I have been leaving water and piles of dried grass for my traveling companion. The deer is very skittish about getting too close to us humans. I hope that as time passes it will learn none of us mean it any harm. Be at peace my little friend and follow as you will.
I traded for some meat with a bedoin we met. Not real sure what it is, but we need the protein. Along with the plants we find, meals are adequate.
I have been watching the mountain on the horizon. It grows closer each day. I look forward to meeting that old goat. We shall find out what secrets he wants to show us when the time comes.
Our journey continues. Beware the Nicodemon. He can sneak up on you at any time, anywhere. I have seen someting keeping pace with us in distance to our side. Is it him and his friends, the sickorettes?
He will get a surprise if he comes around here. If we all just say N.O.P.E. he cannot harm us. We don't mess with those things anymore.
May everyone have safe journey and reach the other side of the desert without meeting the enemy. Guard your quit and keep it safe. We can, and will do this if we work together. I will be waiting to give everyone a big hug as you leave the desert.
One step, and then another, gets you to where you are going.
Hugs and love.
Larry
