in my new wagon parked next to the Inn
I was actually humming as I dragged my stuff into my new home ... or

home to be I should say ... there wasn't much inside the empty

cavernous wagon yet but I didn't care and it showed in the determined

way I went about tossing furs and hanging stuff up on pegs

standing upon the jetty and says to ALL: I hadn't slept much ... spending almost the whole night chatting and rebonding with 3 of my kids ... there were dark circles under my eyes but my smile never waivered as I proudly walked the ships that my sons captained ... both had been fc gifts from their father to me when I companioned Merciless .. it saddened me neither was around today to see how strong and proud Teivo and T'chuka had become ,,, wee Ravyn was still sleeping in my wagon under the care of her slave so I was free to join ,y people in off loading the various wagons and assorted creatures that I was responsible for

standing upon the jetty and says to ALL: "The wagons of the Wagon Peoples are, in their hundreds and thousands, in their brilliant, variegated colors, a glorious sight. Surprisingly, the wagons are almost square, each the size of a large room. Each is drawn by a double team of bosk, four in a team, witch each team linked to its wagon tongue, the tongues being joined by tem-wood crossbars. The two axles of the wagon are also of tem-wood, which perhaps, because of its flexibility, joined with the general flatness of the southern Gorean plains, permits the width of the wagons." "The wagon box, which stands almost six feet from the ground, is formed of black, lacquered planks of tem-wood. Inside the wagon box, which is square, there is fixed a rounded, tentlike frame, covered with the taut, painted, varnished hides of bosks. These hides are richly colored, and often worked with fantastic designs, each wagon competing with its neighbor to be the boldest and most exciting. The rounded frame is fixed somewhat within the square of the wagon box, so that a walkway, almost like a ship's bridge, surrounds the frame. The sides of the wagon box, incidentally, are, here and there, perforated for arrow ports, for the small horn bow of the Wagon Peoples can be used to advantage not only from the back of a kaiila but, like the crossbow, from such cramped quarters. One of the most striking features of these wagons is the wheels, which are huge, the back wheels having a diameter of about ten feet; the front wheels are, like those of the Conestoga wagon, slightly smaller, in this case, about eight feet in diameter; the larger rear wheels are more difficult to mire; the smaller front wheels, nearer the pulling power of the bosk, permit a somewhat easier turning of the wagon. These wheels are carved wood and, like the wagon hides, are richly painted. Thick strips of boskhide form the wheel rims, which are replaced three to four times a year. The wagon is guided by a series of eight straps, two each for the four lead animals. Normally, however, the wagons are tied in tandem fashion, in numerous long columns, and only the lead wagons are guided, the others simply following, thongs running from the rear of one wagon to the nose rings of the bosk following, sometimes as much as thirty yards behind, with the next wagon; also, too, a wagon is often guided by a woman or boy who walks beside the lead animals with a sharp stick. -- Nomads of Gor, pgs 30-31

is at the`Happy Trails Inn` by the shore line and says to ALL: Martha wasted no time ... she was the camp cook and knew well her worth in the whole scheme of things ... by the time I'd drawn my own wagon into place beside the one Adar had left for me to use ... the dour faced Martha had a large cooking fire blazing and a kettle of water hanging to boil her own grown daughters busy kneading out loaves of starter bread that had risen in large buckets in the galley of my sons ships ... Martha and Vern had been with me for ever and knew my ways ... I'd delivered their children and we'd been a family ... even Earl held his head high nowadays ... a broken down drunkard who'd lost his left eye in some long ago battle .... he was a solitary man but with time and acceptance he'd slowly changed over the years and today he was responsible for all the outriders and his loyalty to me was unquestionable

is at the`Happy Trails Inn` by the shore line and says to ALL: wagonspeople were nomadic by nature and it was almost with military precision that the camp settled in ... each and every person knew what had to be done and it was amongst good humour and friendly joking that we worked unitedly ... the next step was removing the bosk from the harnesses ... the beasts were as well accustomed to routine and thankfully remained calm as I climbed among them ... these beasts were comparible in size to a small car and if they wanted to it would be nothing to squish me or gor me ... but like my people these critters knew me well ... I'd been there when they'd been born and each had a name

is at the`Happy Trails Inn` by the shore line and says to Nyah: my small gloved hand grabbed Foster by the nose ring to lead him off towards the back paddock ... he was the biggest bosk and the others would naturally follow ... this shaggy beast's red coat was brushed and his horns oiled till they shone ... a magnificent creature was as docile as a baby verr as he let me lead him ... I moved a good distance from the wagons ... no fear of being attacked here and no fear of them wandering off so I was confident they wouldn't go far till a proper paddock was built ... ohhh Nyahhhhhhh !!! ... calling out as I turn to head back ... I waved wildly and began to run towards you
