Day 87: Hello River!

Day 87:

Now that I’m tunneling in the correct direction again, I’ve made progress. By “progress” I mean I dug straight up to get my bearings today, and discovered that the river’s only a few meters away!

That means I did it! I made a safe passage between me and the river!

Now I get to build a bridge, I guess.

And figure out how to get Stupid and Dumb into the tunnels so they can haul the lumber for the bridge.

Well, or I could cut the trees down by the river. I need to take a better look at them in the morning.

WHICH I CAN TOTALLY DO, BECAUSE I HAVE A TUNNEL THAT GOES TO THE RIVER.

Yano, there’s a lot of things about this trip that are just flat-out depressing. The monsters, mostly, but the total lack of food, tools, refrigerators, showers… But accomplishing this goal means a lot to me!

Think I’ll go to sleep for a change and see how the world looks in the morning!
