Day Ninety Six:

Day Ninety Six:

I just realized I never really explained how we are surviving. I mean, obviously with guns. But the way I have been writing it just seems like we are driving endlessly when that is definitely not the case. We average between 300-500 miles a day which doesn't seem like much at all but, we pretty much only travel during the day and once we are in the later part of the day we start branching off into different towns to find where we will be staying for the night.

Once there we decide which building offers the most safety and requires the least amount of modifications to keep it safe IE boarding up windows, locking a gate, etc...

Then if need be, we find a local hardware store or Home Depot and spend an hour or two fortifying our shelter. AJ has been marking every location on the road atlas as well so if we ever need to come back this way we will be able to possibly travel twice as far with the knowledge that we will have a safe haven ready and waiting for us.

If there is time we will track down something good to eat and since there wasn't any real looting worth mentioning we usually find something good once we get past all the once fresh stuff that has rotted away to gross.

This entry isn't very exciting or thought provoking but, whenever I used to read stuff like this I would always get annoyed when the focus would be solely on all the action without anyone ever taking the time to write in a scene where the people have to take a shit, or sleep, or refuel, or whatever.

So anyway, on a more interesting note. Since we are going to Florida, I wonder if the gators are doing their part to help control the local ex-hume infestation? I hope so.
