Make us less a target on the road, I don't trust many people outside of the boundary, I've seen them at their worst!But, she was traveling now -- that was a win in her books. She had left the boundary of the Back Water the first time only a few months before, and looking back, she wasn't sure why she had stayed put as long as she had -- she had a lust to wander now, more so than before.

Mina was fairly excited that she was getting to go along this time, never before having really wanted to go, she always had things at the Water that needed to be done, but now that Colt had taken her off property and shown her some of what was out there, well, this was an adventure she wanted to have, and besides, it was work that would go faster with two sets of hands.
Has the cart been un-reliable in the past?
