Um.....okay, this was funny! I played again and here's what happen without even a minutes worth of playtime:
March 1, 1848
We started down the trail with:
20 oxen
20 sets of clothing
2000 bullets
3 wagon wheels
3 wagon axles
3 wagon tongues
140 pounds of food
We will now travel at a more grueling pace.
March 3, 1848
We have arrived at the Kansas River Crossing.
March 4, 1848
The wagon tipped over while floating. We lost:
1 wagon tongue
79 pounds of food
GIR (drowned)
Dib (drowned)
Nny (drowned)
Riz (drowned)
