They get to Fort Boise. And Jade quickly realizes they only have 28 lbs of food left. They attempt to trade for some, but the only willing emigrant wants 117 lbs of food, which they don't have at all. Dist tells the guy that he is dumb and the man gives him the finger. It's all very messy.
They leave and head for the Blue Mountians. Raz manages to find some Wild Fruits, even though Jade has told him not to leave the wagon IN FEAR OF CHOLREA AND SNAKEBITES. OH AND HIS ARM IS STILL BROKEN.
Jade goes hunting: for about a week and can only manage to get a squirrel and a rabbit. Dist tells him that he he doesn't kill him a bear then he will be pissed. The last day, he manages to find a bear and kills it. Moar bear jerky for Dist!
Back on the road, Raz is given the reigns and while Jade nods off, they manage to get lost down the wrong trail and lose 4 days of travel. Dist casually mentions that maybe a 10 year old shouldn't be in charge of the wagon.
The next night a thief comes and steals 73 lbs of food. Dist is not pleased, all of his bear jerky, GONE. The next night one of their oxen is stolen :| Dist is convinced that it is some sort of conspiracy and mentions to Jade that he wants to borrow the gun TO HUNT HIM DOWN. He is denied and they carry on.
They reach some water, but it is totally awful. But Raz, again, wanders off and finds some wild fruits. Dist is pleased. Its the toward the end of September and they lose another day in some heavy fog. Dist steals the gun and decides to go hunting, since Jade never manages to replace ALL the food they lost. He manages a single dear, and protests to staying another night and shoots nothing. Jade pressures everyone into pressing on.
Raz's arm looks almost healed and they carry on, reaching the Blue Mountains.
