(Writers Note: I am very curious to find out what caused the spike in traffic yesterday and today. Was it the mention of the russian? The fact he was puking his guts up? Or the universal loathing of the vegetable omelet mres? Or just a combination of all three.)

Desert camping is fun until you slide down a glass flecked dune and have to climb back up a steep slope of sand and sharp glass to get back to the road. I still cannot answer the question of why we're out here. Nor why there is a Russian with us.

Yes I do know the answers to these. 

Made a side stop and checked around Edwards AFB. Couldn't find the bunkers there despite having a map that was supposed to lead directly to it.

It looks like the majority of the bombs detonated out in the desert because most of the base was intact and not really irradiated. Didn't see any bodies though so we think everyone made it into the bunkers. We'll keep looking and let them know there's a war on, maybe if we find an air vent and bang on it someone will pop out to see what all the racket is, and hopefully not shoot us. They'll have to come out soon though The bunkers weren't stocked for much longer than 6 months If I remember right from the Civil Defense pamphlets.
