Hi, everyone!
Jet and I made it past all of the rivers on the west/northwest side of the island.
We took a few detours and I've been moving kind of slowly.
So, I think someone could reasonably make the journey in about four days.
We could shorten it if we can put some nice sturdy logs down across the river branches near the hotel.
I think that could really help in making it easier to get down to the base from this side of the island.

No animal attacks! :)
But we might have just got lucky.
We did hear some weird stuff going on the day before yesterday, though.
Did anyone else hear a sort of rhythmic thrumming?
I wasn't sure if it was just over by us.

I see you already heard about the crabpocalypse. That's probably what you heard. It was wild as hell. There were probably hundreds of them just where we were, heading towards the sea, maybe? They didn't stick around anywhere so I'm not sure yet what happened to them.

Glad you weren't in their path, though.

Me, too.
I know the island is big, but that's just... mad!
Like a whole crabpocalypse that was barely noticeable a couple of days away?
Although, I guess... that's sort of like an earthquake happening somewhere miles away.

We didn't really see them until they were right on us. No idea how we could have missed all these damn crabs congregating but who knows? This place is wild as hell.

I wonder if they were all headed to the same place and that's why you didn't see any where you were. Not that that's less weird.

K said they came up from out of the ground.
Maybe they were, like... tunneling?

[He's pretty sure crabs make burrows.]

We did see a couple of crabs the other day.
But they were on the other side of the river and were just scuttling about like they were confused about how to get across.
So, it's... possible.
I felt sorry for them.
I know the feeling. There are SO MANY rivers around the island.
Great for water.
Difficult for anyone trying to get around.
