Well, things are beginning to look up.  I've built a vehicle from some of the extra supplies and set off to explore parts unknown.  While exploring, I found some animals I can eat.  The animals were two pigs and a small lion.  Now let's get to the real adventure.  When I was driving on the road, that I made of dirt, I came to a flooded area.  I got out of my car and stepped into the water to see if it was deep. WOW, that storm was powerful!  The water came up to my knees.  I couldn't drive through so I had to float.  I wondered; can I float?  I decided to try. WOW, I can float!  I built a floating car.  Onward to the unknown.  The scenery is similar to a tropical island.  Next, we got stuck in quicksand.  I had to move fast to save my car, but now I remember I can float, so I revved up the gas.  I'm out of the mud.  Back to camp.  We built a car that can float.  The seats are 20 feet in the air, so when you go into water you can float and not get wet.  There are only two wheels so we can go over bumps, drive in water, and turn.  To get to the seats we would use the ladder.  We keep supplies in a water tight box.  The car is 21' by 22'.  You can store food in the weight box.
