Dear Journal

We've uncovered about $800.00 worth of chlums today, totaling $3800.00. If we're THIS successful in only this much time, we may not need to stay until november. We were actually NOT expecting to make an income in this, but that may be the case. Of course the fun is in the adventure, not the money. But we don't want to pack so much that our four remaining kingqueens have trouble carrying not just the chlums but also our supplies.

Luckily that dragon didn't eliminate our food supply, we have enough food for four months, and since we're down four kingqueens our kingqueens have even more food) and when THAT runs out we've seen enough birds to hunt with our pistols and more than our fare share of wild edibles. Sure .357s are overkill for birds, but we carefully rationed our supplies so we've only packed defense firearms, not really hunting firearms.

If you're curious, the food we packed are those dehydrated foods that are popular in the military, and the kingqueen food is butcher's throwaway meat, not edible to us but the kingqueens can't seem to get enough of it.
