In front of one of the wagons sat to men one a bit older than the one to his side.
The older one kicked back and reclined as his brunette compadre' steered the reins. "A lovely Day isn't it Isiah?" The younger man replied "Hmm? Oh yeah sure I guess, it ain't winter that's for sure." He stated.
His older partner chuckled in response "yeah that's fer sure." He agreed, then he proceeded to click his tongue to have their too mules pick up pace up the hill. The older man tilted his head and began, "So are ya new to these parts?" The Isiah nodded "Yeah, Actually just hopped off the boat actually, I'm actually traveling from Britain hoping to see if I can make something of myself." The young man replied.
With a knowing nod the older finally replied "Well I'd be careful ya know. Lots of dangers here, aside from forest fires and avalanches, storms, and cave- ins you also got cougars, bears, heck even eagles can be feisty at times, "he chuckled slightly and continued on and on about alligators, jaguars, bison, rattlesnakes....and then something odd escaped his lips "And OH MAN can those Jackalopes start a ruckus when you stumble upon their warrens." The younger raised a brow "Don't you mean antelope? Antelopes don't live in warrens." The older shook his head. "No I mean Jackalope or at least that's the nickname we gave em' when we made the mistake of chopping the trees around they're burrows unknowingly." Isiah shook his head "I'm sorry but what on earth is a "Jackalope?"
