When they remodeled the house, they found the rifle ports in the walls under the plaster. You could see the wagon ruts in their pasture.

I love this game. Remember playing in Elementery school; I named my wife after a girl I liked at the time, named my children after my friends, except one where I named him after a bully. I would pray he would get bitten by a snake or get dysentery. Didn't know what that was at the time, but it sounded painful. Found a retro gaming site with some of the game-series and repeated by old adventures. One of my 'children' was bitten twice by snakes, one on the first day of our voyage! Then he broke a leg and then he drowned near the end. He had no luck! But, he didn't die of dysentery!

Tip: Never drink unfiltered stream water in Oregon. There’s a certain bacteria that causes dysentery and other sickness, and it’s just not a good idea in general. Them roadside filtered spring water fountains hit different tho.

[@WhenInDarknessSeekTheLight]

Is that a certain bacteria found specifically in Oregon and nearby states or just in general stream water?

[@reharp2037]

Lil Reg I’m guessing Oregon and nearby states only. Haven’t done much research into it, just don’t drink unfiltered water in general though lol. I think the bacteria name starts with a g. I’ll try and find it, if I do I’ll respond again.

[@reharp2037]

Lil Reg Found it. “Giardiasis is an intestinal infection caused by a protozoan and is spread by contaminated water or contact with an infected person” Aka the beaver fever. It can be found around the world, I just assumed it was found on the west coast. It can be found in any freshwater body I guess.
