Post from Z'leyra on actoins... Subject: [pnpgm] ready to start trip? Before leaving town Z'leyra buys leather, gut twine, horn and glue making materials to make perhaps 4 large waterbags with. Looking at her satchel, boots and other leather items she is amazed at the masterful quality of work she used to do. Apparently getting hit in the head gave her aphasia which necessitates that she relearn her leather working skills. Because she apparently has memory problems she double checks the items she is leaving in her manor, just to see if she should take any of the items. She checks her own gear she is taking and adds a few items for use as presents. [I will send Scott ANOTHER list of what Z'leyra takes and what she leaves as they may have been miscommunication about the first such list.] Z'leyra tells the party "Water bags can be filled with snow, put behind the saddles, under the bedrolls and use the heat of the horses to melt the snow. Several gallons a day can be obtained this way if we fill the waterbags with snow at each stop. We will be traveling about 29 miles per day. Fremea can ride along with any that don't have heavily loaded horses." She checks with each to see if they have appropriate winter gear, boots, mittens, et cetera. She plans to also check with each horse and examine horseshoes, hooves and tack. _______________________________________________ pnpgm mailing list pnpgm@list.powersandperils.org http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnpgm
