By using our caulk, we were able to float our boat across the river without any trouble. Hurray for caulk! I recommend that men and women, children and the elderly, should all get themselves some caulk. What's better than having lots and lots of caulk going into your cracks?
Alright, too many caulk jokes. I'll stop.
And in an even more unbelievable turn of events, we STILL haven't had incidents!
Just more heavy fog.
We also got even more lucky when
we found some fruit.
Next, we arrived at a fort. An interesting thing about forts that differ from other settlements is that they allow access to stores. However these stores aren't as close to civilization, so they're going to be increasingly expensive.
More on the fort itself, Fort Kearney is a U.S. Army post established in 1848 near the Platte River. It garrisons cavalry troops who protect settlers and travelers along the Oregon Trail. It was named for General Stephen Watts Kearny (Often spelled "Kearney"), who died in 1848 after helping to establish law and order in the region and serving in the Mexican War.
Looking at our trend of trading, I'm assuming that nobody wants to buy anything. I say that because I don't want this to be a short update after being late for this one already. However I already made a savegame right here in case I'm wrong.
So if any of you want to buy something at the Fort, I will revert back to the save.
Oh, and I guess you'll want our status too.
SO!
We continued our travels to Chimney Rock, our next checkpoint!
And just look at our luck. Not a single disease in sig-
Oh God damn it. Well it couldn't be too bad. I mean, it's not like it's measl-
NOW I remember why I hate this game.
So here's what happened on the strangely long trip to Chimney Rock:
Our Token Female got hit with dysentery.
Professor McTalksalot was slammed with the measles (Ew..)
We lost two days to two seperate occasions of heavy fog (Again)
And we found wild fruit... Twice. Not like it gives that much food in the first place...
We made it to Chimney Rock, where there's apparently a choir on top of the rock singing Auld Lang Syne for some reason...
Aside from the harmonic group, Chimney Rock is an important landmark on the Oregon Trail. It's a spectacular natural formation of solid rock and can be seen for miles around. In fact, you can see it for a whole day as yo uapproach it and for another whole day as you leave it behind. If you don't see it at all within a week or so after leaving Fort Kearney, you've probably strayed too far off the trail.
Really developers? You were so desperate for info that you just decided to say, "LOL ITS A PENISROCK. U CAN C IT 4 2 DAIS STRAIT. ALSO U SUK N IS LOST IF U CANT C IT."
Anyway our status is looking a bit different now. We got two people sick, but that's about it.
Decision time!
Should we trade anything here?
Should we go back to the Fort save (you cheating bastards)?
Should we rest for a bit until our two noble yet ill heroes feel better?
Should we touch the penisrock?
Also, I'm a foodwhore, so I'm usually keeping a hawk's eye on the supply. We still have 1640 pounds left, just to update you guys.
