And the journey begins...

Well, I feel as though I haven't slept at all but, the night flew swiftly by. Just two brightly lit stars and the moon were in the sky; oh I'm sure there were other stars but, none as bright as those two...

And now, the Sun has come back to show me the way forward. I've looked through my bag and realized that along with my laptop I still have an almost empty mini bottle of Cherry Cola which I've now finished and filled with water. I found two other bottle/jar like containers which I've filled with water too.

I've packed up a good haul of the rice and meat and also found what appears to be a shawl or blanket of some kind. The batteries on this phone just don't seem to be dying either, I mean I can take pics I can re-read old SMS messages but, there's no signal... A WiFi signal but nothing for the phone?!? Anyway I'm leaving the Gas Farm now as I'm calling it, one last photo.










Looks strangely, homely? I guess you could say... But that's just one side of it, the building that looked like a store and the barn are behind me; the camera just weren't working right. Onwared and upward as they say...

This is getting really strange. Your "night" was only about 4 hours.

Take care of yourself, and let us know what we can do to help.

I'm just curious, and I'm sorry if this is something you don't feel like talking about... but why were you in the hospital? what disease did you have?

Try not to drink anything but water, as it makes you more thirsty.

Drink in small rations, enough to keep you going, but not so much as to drain the supply quickly.

Glad you where able to find that blanket/shawl. If nothing else it serves as both shade and something to carry things in.

Please try and stay safe. Also for the first day or so, try and keep your "home base" in sight. Just to make sure you know where you are and dont get lost!
