DISPATCH FROM CAMP OLYCLIMBER: NOTICED A CORNICE ON MY ROOF THAT MAY GO WITH THE SLIGHTEST DISTURBANCE SO TIPTOED AROUND THE HOUSE ALL DAY. HAVE DISCOVERED A BOX FULL OF PACKAGING POPCORN WHICH WILL SUSTAIN US FOR PERHAPS A WEEK IF WE RATION MEAGERLY. HAVE SEVERAL TRAPS ON GAME LINES I FOUND IN THE SNOW IN MY YARD. I SUSPECT WE'LL BE HAVING A COUPLE OF RACOONS AND PERHAPS A DOMESTIC CAT FOR DINNER TOMORROW. HOPEFULLY THAT FAT ONE I'VE BEEN EYING.
OLYCLIMBER HERE REPORTING FROM MY HUNKERED DOWN POSITION. I CAN'T GO INTO EXACTLY WHERE I'M AT...NOT GONNA TELL YA...BUT SUFFICE IT TO SAY I'M IN THE WESTERN UNITED STATES. DEALING WITH A LITTLE CABIN FEVER HERE. HAVE EATEN A MONTHS WORTH OF RATIONS OUT OF BOREDOM. THE SNOW HAS BEEN CAPPED BY ICEY RAIN, CONDITIONS ARE HORRENDOUS. THE WOMEN FOLK STRIPPED DOWN AND TOOK A SNOW BATH, WHILE I ENSURED THE ESCAPE VEHICLE (SHOULD WE NEED IT) WAS OPERABLE AND THAT ALL COMM IS UP. SEASONS GREETINGS FROM THIS HOLDOUT TO YOURS.
