Jeremy studied the map he and Chucky been holding while the wagon bumped and jolted from the dirt road. He and Chucky been on the road for a day, leaving Silverbrook by morning giving their grandmothers a wave, telling them they'll be back by the weekend. They both have packed their haversacks with dried meat and fruit, Jeremy packed his map that he found in the old records room in the basement of the townhall when he was helping the scribes with moving books and boxes. Both Boys also packed blankets and oil cloth for rain, rolled up and stored in the straps of the haversack.
The wagon jolted again, this time from a deep pothole. The farmer swore under his breath and sharply whipped the horses reins. The Fox and his young son met them on the road, the Boy pointed at them and the father stopped the wagon, offering Jeremy and Chucky a ride to his farm to stay for the night. Both badger and Skunk accepted, offering to help unloading the cargo. The older fox nodded, approving, The fox boy grinned at them toothly, "nice to meet you!"
