Day 668:<\/p>\n
After getting caught in the mud one too many times for my liking I’ve decided to build a road out of all these logs I’m cutting down to ensure that I’m harder to shoot. (Yes I know technically I’m harder to shoot with a tree in the way, but the tree makes it harder to see who’s shooting me and shoot back. This isn’t some ancient Robin Hood movie and I’m no tree climber.)<\/p>\n
At least to start, I’m running the roads north\/south (or what I think is north\/south based on the position of the sun) and probably east\/west as well, but at the edges of my maps so I can find my way around more comfortably. It’ll also help me keep track of where I’ve been and where I’m going.<\/p>\n
The dark wood here seems to be very\u00a0very<\/em> solid and to be honest there’s not a lot of traffic anyway, so I think the wood will hold up until I need to go to something heavier like stone. I hope that’ll be a while. I mean, I have plenty of cobblestone, but wood is generally lighter to haul around.<\/p>\n This would, once again, be a nice time for one of those horses and maybe a wagon. My skill at wheels is still pretty horrible though.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Day 668: After getting caught in the mud one too many times for my liking I’ve decided to build a road out of all these logs I’m cutting down to ensure that I’m harder to shoot.
