A Welcome Stop

There's only one decent wagon road between the railroad and Fort Belmont but at least there's a warm welcome at Bob's farm along the way, and the latest news and rumours. 


Once the mail had been dropped off and some news and rumors exchanged, the column got back under way. Suddenly there was a stir in the column as its attention was drawn to a distant hill. 

"Sir, we're being watched"

   .........stay tuned!

    " Excuse me sergeant, how do you know they are hostile? "

    "Well sir, never trust a Red....err Hostile sir....just look at those feathers!"

    " Really sergeant, I think we will need to get you on a diversity and inclusion course ASAP.......'

    Bob the farmer and his family have relocated from the farm yard to the root cellar. Best knock before entering, the hair trigger on Bob's shotgun is known to be very sensitive.
