After taking the day to rest up, devide up the gear water and foodstuffs the party begins to formulate a plan to travel by night and use the waterways to navigate their way back north to their families. On top of their personal gear each member now has a pack with a personal tent, sleeping bag, enough foodstuffs for 5 days and about 5 gallons of water between them all.
Before they set out Andy and Dave plan on tracking the local deer that have been in and out of their campsite all weekend long to try and bag some more food to make jerkey out of. While traveling Troy plans to use the pump water filtration system to resupply the water, Dave also offers up his water purification tablets which will make safe 25 gallons of water.
Andy believes his wife was at the family horse stables in Malabar and that appears to be the party's first stop on their quest. After that the party will use the waterways to attempt to reconnect with Dave and Tony's loved ones. Depending on that outcome the party will then travel to hook up with Dj's, then justin and lastly Troys family.
The overall question remains, "what caused all this?" More presently is the group going to attempt to raid the mansion across the river? Or investigate the now vacant Boy Scouts camp? Of just lay low and travel like ghosts in the night to their destination. Even traveling by night this leg of the Sebastian River will take them by a rather populated area and there's no telling what a frightened populace will do to others passing by their territory.
I'm packing all my gear, loading up and paddling to Indian river before sunset. My thoughts are to tie off near Malabar road, hide the gear and hump it up to the last known whereabouts of my wife. She was visiting the horses out off Webber rd. If all else fails and she's not there at least we will have horse transportation and we will be on the way to everyone else's fambilies. Who's with me?
ReplyDeletemy vote the next operation is to subdue all our equipment. (meaning no jingling keys,sloshing canteen,canoe paddles wrapped with material so if they hit the side of the boat it will not make that much sound) take the boat to the fork and turn west and go down c54 to 95 north its 5 miles and hike it to valkaria rd and over to weber its about 8 miles.we need to be as special ops types as possible avoiding as much people contact as possible.
ReplyDeleteas we paddle the river i will rig fishing line on arrow and if there any marsh birds i will take them with a fishing arrow.i still believe that chemical / emp attack is here.the military will be securing bases first and civilians second.the only chance to see military would be on i95 thats why the highway system was built.
Rock and roll hoochie koo! Subdue that shit lets roll. I'm all for secret ops, not sure that all are as crazy as we are yet. We shall soon find out. Head out just before nightfall?
ReplyDeletethe darker the berry the sweeter the juice....lets leave at dark after you hunt and smoke your own meat.
ReplyDeleteHanging out with my favorite dudes, smoking some meat. I like this new world.
ReplyDeleteI am also in. The deputy should be able to take care of himself and get his own backup. We need to keep moving so we can look after our own.
