First image of the new base! To get started. the siblings are clearing out a crevasse between the mountains to use as a one-room-hovel. The huskies are helping carry, of course. We also brought the family’s old donkey, which is a thing that we have, for some reason.

Quick progress was made! Of course, the siblings came prepared - they brought bedrolls, books, and materials. Adkins built a makeshift bridge across the adjacent marsh, which provides a quick source of nutrition, courtesy of Von’s fishing skills.

With the initial shelter situated and a well dug, Adkins’s next task was to work on planting before it gets too late in the season. (The growing season here is only 30/60 days.) She’s focusing on a staple crop of rice, a small patch of cotton for future use, and an assorted herb garden.

Meanwhile, Von is already entertaining! Berrios, a curious visitor from a nearby settlement, stopped by. Von offered him his bedroll for the night, and humbly slept on the ground.
