Roughin' it
Friday, June 18, 2004

Nothing like a couple days “roughin’ it” outdoor to make you fully appreciate the brilliance of a sturdy outhouse. It’s good to be home. And I haven’t thought so in a long time.

Took almost no time to walk to the caves, but damn’d if it didn’t take me a whole day to get the courage up to go on in. See, I had it in my mind that once I was inside, I would stumble across some ancient memory of my boys. I expected to find “Bill was here” scratched in the wall or a bow and arrow set made out of twigs. Well, I just didn’t think I would have been able to handle that.

When I finally did go in, I was surprised and relieved to find there was nothing but some left over Browncoat rations and equipment. As far as I can tell, ol’ Browncoats used the cave as a base during the battle of bil. I was able to tell this by the number of discarded officer cigar ends. LORAX tobacco too. Fine stuff from a fine planet. Always heard Williams and his like had a weakness for it, but I doubt if any of them was in that cave. Wouldn’t that just be the end all? B.R.Williams, Browncoat general and living legend, campin’ in my backyard. If that had been the case, I would have been able to sell those cigar droppings for 10 bars per butt.

I spent the next couple of days, exploring the caves, taking scans with the survey equipment and taking soil samples. Can’t say that I know much about what I was doing. Soil, I know. Rocks, well, that’s a horse of a different color. I’m sending my spectrograph results back to Miners’ Guild in the Core. Ain’t gonna hold my breath.
