Notes to Cindy: The Archives

When I got to the tent last night, the tent was flat to the ground. The bears tore a hole in the floor and snapped one of the tent poles. Everything was still dry after the first storm wave thanks to the tarp that Shayna got me. All that was left of the food was a package of dried almonds. I trecked back to Ingles to get some ducktape. On the way back, these two snooty berry pickers told me I shouldn't be here, after I told them what happened. They said, "WE have two families of bears up here, so hanging your food here won't help. You just need to leave." On the way up here, one of them said, "This is a BEAR trail not a HUMAN trail." All I could think was that they don't own the bears and this is private property so they don't belong here either. I spent my last few bucks on some ducktape and waited for the storm to pass. I kinda fixed the tent. I ducktaped a couple of sticks to the tent pole and ducktaped where the two poles cross. I cut open one of the destroyed tents that was left here and attempted to patch the hole, but everything was too soaked for the tape to stick. In fact, everything in the tent was soaked. Everything was dry after the first wave of storm. During the second, however, everything went to shit. I found a note from the girl I met yesterday who gave me some food and the ten bucks. The note was soaked, but I was able to make out "It's the girl you spok... yesterday. Meet me... bridge... 8am tomorrow." So that's what I'm gonna do. By the time I post this and message it to Alice, I will have a further update. Until then, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to sleep honestly. The tent is rickety now, and I don't know how it's going to hold up against further storms. Plus it's hard to sleep on wet blankets and a wet pillow. Not to mention, now that the bears no that they can get in here, I have a feeling they might come back, regardless of there no longer being any food here.

TL;DR

Bears fucked my shit up. Everything's wet. Rigged it. Too unstable for storm. Probably won't sleep tonight. More news later.
