Geode Fe

We where running low on water. Traveling can be tough this time of year, with water being scarce. I am not familiar with this area, so I don't know where the next stream is. We decided to go to the next farm we found, knowing there would be water there.

We ended up traveling past the farm, before we found the cart trail that lead to it. Backtracking a couple of miles was probably a lot faster than trying to take a cart across country.

When we arrived at the farm, we where quite dismayed to find it abandoned. The thatch roof on the house had fallen in, and the doors on the barn had fallen off. But the worst thing, is there wasn't a well in sight!

We decided to stable there for the night anyhow, as it was too late to travel down the rough path to the main road. I discovered the well in the barn, covered up. Who would put a well in a barn? I guess they where too lazy to haul water for the livestock, and built the barn over the well.

I think we found out why the farm was abandoned. The well was essentially dry. We worked on digging some of the mud out of the well so we could get some water out after we let it settle.

I put the wolf up in the chicken coup for the night. Lets see how he fares in the morning.
