I sent several camels back along the trail loaded with some dates and figs for the camp at the end of NML. I told the bedoin to take them to Queen Tigress. I know she will make sure they arrive at the camp safely. I also sent a note along with Amir asking her to take over care of the camel compound back there. There is a lavish tent set up for her use if she will assume care of the camels.
Since I can move much faster on my own, I am almost back to the entrance to NML. I have heard there are some people milling around there as if they are lost. I will see about getting them organized and on the trail when I get there.
I passed someone in a boonie hat that was traveling across the desert yesterday. He looked to be ready for anything Ol Nic could throw his way. He was carrying a large hammer slung on his back.
I hailed him and told him about the supply caches at each oasis and that he was welcome to any that he needed. I think he will do fine.
I should be ready to begin another caravan in a few days. I, and my camel, will have to rest before we start back again.
I have posted signs across the desert with the Old Goat's words on them. Remember them always my friends. They are words to live by.
Keep Them Away From Your Face!!!
One step, and then another, will get you to where you want to be.
Hugs and love to all my fellow travelers.
