Tarvek will not give up on this determination to earn his Orienteering merit badge. Another three day detour is lost to this madness. Jade may have given up by this point.
The party stumbles - or staggers - across an abandoned wagon with three sets of clothing. MORALE SOARS.
Given their slow pace with their two remaining oxen, Jade tries to find someone to trade them another, to no avail. So he sets food rations to meager, since it's going to take them awhile to reach the next fort at this rate.
Time to cross the Snake River! Jade gives their three spare sets of clothing to an Indian to help them across, over strenuous protests. Dist declares he will hate Jade forever! This may be the seven hundredth such declaration.
Only a couple days out from the river, one of their two oxen dies. Then they hit an impassable trail that stalls them for nine days. Then Armonde comes down with measles. Jade just...closes his eyes and makes his peace with death.
