Whew! Been busy. After landing, we had to pack up everything and head to wherever Dad and Nephi believed we should settle down. I was worried we were in for another eight year journey. Luckily after about a month of travel we got to a place they were happy with.
Also, I should mention, we didn’t have our camels anymore to haul all our stuff. I was thinking since we were carrying enough gear that we needed camels to transport it all, we’d better plant our roots near the seashore or this is going to be a total pain. So none of us could believe it when Dad said we needed to haul everything farther inland. Luckily it turns out, Sam is some sort of animal whisperer. We came across some kind of beasts of burden that were tame enough that he could get them and break them. Not sure what they were doing hanging out in the middle of nowhere, but I won’t complain.
We’re in a beautiful valley now. There’s only one navigable entrance into the valley on the south. A river runs into it from the north, but the mountains there are steep and the canyon too narrow to traverse. We’ve planted our seeds and are hoping they’ll grow here in this new, foreign soil. And, Nephi has been gathering ore to build tools. By the time harvest season comes around, we should be properly decked out.
