today we just kind of hung out and swapped stories. I gave monte the guns I found in freds house as they rightfully belonged to him. He seemed surprised I found them. He said he had searched the house before leaving and found nothing. It was odd.

Also today we had the first fresh milk since a few days after the infection. Dad had captured and slowly tamed one of the neighbors milk cows. He had fresh milk, and they had learned how to make cheese as well. Me and Matt decided to stay the day and night and pull out in the morning. Dad gave us several wheels of cheese they had made in the fall and fresh pork from a pig they had butchered. We asked about rolling through hettinger. Dad said there wasnt anyone alive that he knew of, and they made weekly trips for supplies. I wanted to check on a couple guys I knew there. We packed up everything and spent our last night shooting the breze and drinking some fine iced tea made by aunt June.
