Today I started out in
the direction of Uranium Springs. An enclave of survivors that are
celebrating another spring. Having heard of this happening, from
someone last fall, I decide to meet the Crew there for a little
funnin' in a safe haven before our cycle of travel begins.
The Crew, having
separated last winter to spend some time w/ their tribes and
families, or accomplish some personal missions, had chosen this place
to re-gather before our summer travels.
So far the thought of
funnin was getting thinner.
We hadn't even made the meet and already we where losing crew-members. What started as nine was now down to four. So far no one killed or maimed, just mech related issues. A new pair had decided to opt out of this years travels so that they could claim another mech that was more suited, another was in process of getting a draggable built, one just couldn't deal w/ the lifestyle, and on it went until we were four. Two coming up from south of the Burn Zone, . . . myself, . . . and Stykz, who had longest distance to cover. Having gone north into the Norcal Ag region to be w/ clan last winter, He now had to cross the Big Mtns out of there and travel two days south before connecting w/ the route I took up from the river.

Having received
transmissions passed along from him on route, I was aware that he was
having his own mech issues.

Uranium Springs being
down among the edge erosions of the Blasted Lands, and known for
“having the brightest water in the west”, I felt knowing where my
closest water sources were might be the best course of action.
This was a bit muddy, and
wouldn't last too long, but there was prob others along the water
course.
This one was pretty far
down but looked a lot cleaner.
There was a nice place to
view from. Could prob find out a lot about the area from up there.
As the sun burned lower
in the sky I came to the edge of the Blasted Lands.
