Day 252: Earthworks

Day 252:

OK, so, like I said a few days ago, found a huge cache of sand and clay on my way back to where I’d seen the sheep.

So of course, since I was running a bit low on glass, and because I now have this brilliant idea of distracting myself from the sorrows of being the only human on a deadly rock in the middle of nowhere, I decided that before I find the sheep (who they themselves were a distraction from the need for horses, which was a distraction from climbing a nearby mountain) I needed to dig out the sand.

And that’s when I found the new cave structure.

The problem is it’s covered with a very thin roof of soil, such that if I didn’t know it was there and something nearby randomly exploded, I could end up falling in a deep hole.

(Also there’s some pretty valuable looking ore in there.

So I’m distracted again, and the only thing that might save me this time is if I happen to find a population of mole people or something in the caves.

At least there’s less chance of sunburn in there.
