THE BEND

                          Outpost-noon
Well Maren wasn't much help, maybe new people are frowned upon because Jeremy wouldn't tell us she would help us and her just be difficult about it. Maybe she's hiding something. Who knows she could have just not liked us. That's a lot of "ifs" though.
                         Camp-afternoon
Will anything new happened. No, but we forgot about the project to turn the munition machines into purifiers. Until I get that done we need to save water. We only have about 20 gallons left. Ok that shouldn't be a big problem especially if the belts are watertight. Jack, I'm just worried the camp is open to attack anybody could just walk up shoot up the place and we'd be goners. Yes and I'm working on the blueprint for a second camp out a ways in case this one gets invaded. Also speaking of seconds we could build a second floor because the roof is so high and even build on top of the roof because it is flat and it's reinforced so height isn't a problem we could build 20 floors and the building would still be safe.
                         Camp-night
Man I'm tired Jack. Will, you ok you look like your about to pass out. I'm fine I just stayed up all this morning and today and finished getting the purifier to work and it's operational and makes no noise, so we can sleep when it's running. I never knew you were up, get some sleep you deserve it you haven't slept in almost a day now. That's great though what can it pump out a day? We could pipe through the stream, and it processes 1 gallon in 45 seconds but can't take the stress of more than 10 gallons of weight at a time, but I'll reinforce it and we'll be good to go. Well there's not much to do, the fields can always use work, but unless anyone wants to go scavenging there's nothing to do. The irony during the apocalypse there's nothing to do. I'll do it, and me too. Ok so Rick, and Chris will go scavenging, take the truck and 5 gallons of gas and make finding gas a priority. Jack, since we're on a mining deposit there might be oil shale and we can fix the purifier to refine the oil shale to gasoline but it's a long shot. Oh and I remember this off a game I used to play as a kid and it's a long shot too, but it took a large drill bit  type deal and effectively turned a jackhammer into a big drill and it was very effective at turning a mining operation into a quick shot. Yea that's real I made one back a few years ago but of course it was fried. We're lucky that truck still works. I have and idea if we have a long period of time with no work to do I could study the workings of the truck and there's probably a manual in the truck see how it works and make more or at least learn how to make something like a mini bike. That's actually a good idea, Will, Rick, and Chris I want y'all to study the trucks manual there was one it's on the hood get it in the morning and Delanee, you head with me out to get supplies we'll lean off gas for now because we have at least 50 to 100 gallons of gas. And Will we can make a wood layer to go on top of the bed so we can fit more onto the truck. Goodnight everyone let's get to sleep its late.
