Day 1: ICC

[Skullcrusher]

Trent sees the walmart and surronding area go up in flames he says,"Dude that ain't cool....I was just I could've been roasted!" He gets on his cell and tries to call his friend Cliff.

Greg's Kids hold up the cards. They both have them safe and sound.

Trent tries to dial out but a message comes across the cell phone.

"Only Military and emergency service personal currently have access to Cell services. We will as soon as possible return service to the public. IF this is an emergency, press pound now. Other wise hang up and try your call later."

A long fall and sudden stop, hypothermia, starvation...

They must have good defenses set up at the state line. We could camp within range without trying to cross. No, there will be huge crowds there... So where? Grocery stores will be packed. We need someplace with food and water but it needs to be remote. Maybe we will need to risk the ski resort. A better vehicle would be nice...

I spot Trent's SUV in my rearview (maybe jumping a curb to cut a corner?).

Like that one... Is he following me?

I drive to the highway and head in the direction of Steven's pass, keeping an eye open for SUVs and pickup trucks (or any vehicle with snow chains) that look like they might have the keys in them (for whatever reason).

Or even better...

"Alice is your phone still getting internet? Can you lookup a local snowplow business?"

"Good!"

Not that I know what good they will do us...

This was one of those moments when it was actually a good idea for a parent to give their child internet on their phone. The internet is still working considering it is a separate service from calling on the phone. The internet is slow though.

With in about 2 mins Greg's daughter is able to find a snow plow service. Luckily it does not open until tomorrow so no one should be there. Greg is given directions on how to get there.

It is now currently 10:30 AM.

[MatthewVilter]

I go there.

[Skullcrusher]

Trent heads for his friend cliffs gun shop on the outskirts of town he is one of those survival freaks and conspiracy dudes....he'll know what to do.

Both drivers realize that they are going to the same place.

When they pull in they are confronted with a typical multi stop store. As they pull in they realize that there is Large barbed wire fence with the a gate all around the property. They also notice the gate is open. It looks like the gate was opened fast and shut fast. The person who opened it missed shutting it all the way.

The Place is large. it has a standard gas station out front with a small convenience store, attached to it. Connecting to the west side of the building is a hunting/Survivalist store. The Door to this part of the store is open.

Out back is a large garage with a advertisements for snow plows and snow cats. As well as equipment for making cars snow ready. There is a large snowplow rig out front. It is black with a 3 inch bulldog statuette on the front. The Plow has not been hooked up yet but it is layed out in front of the truck and ready to be hooked up.

The area seems to be quite. There is not a lot of activity around. There is also no animal noises of any kind.

Good luck!

I pull in by the gas pump, shut off the car, and get out.

"Victor, stay here. Alice see if anyone is inside but don't go in."

I go close the gate but if the SUV is still outside I wait for it to come in before I do.

Trent was lead footing it riding Greg's rear all the way swerving and being a general A-hole. He flies through the gate behind Greg. He will pull up to the gun shop.
