The people in town wanted to elect me as their leader, but I didn’t stay with them. As payment I took some of their medical supplies and the jeep I shot up.

I’m getting pretty good at fixing things.

Using some spare parts from things around town I think I can fix up that rifle.

Anyway, I left the town this morning, currently holed up in a strange cave north. I’m figuring I’ll find Philadelphia soon, can’t be far off.

I finally got to Philadelphia.

Since I lost my Jeep, walking along this highway has been really hard.

I found a guard outpost along the way, and when I stopped in to look, the military personnel seemed very interested in where I got my uniform. A few of their trigger fingers were itchy, and they must have been gunning for some action with how alone they are. When I left I stole some ammunition for the shotgun and rifle. I figure I need it more than they do.

1 Month since I started this journal.

I need water.
