Letters From The Near Future 9

It's a completely different Continental landscape than you can believe. Here on the Continental Divide I am happy to be alive. From our Mountain perch we can now see the Pacific Ocean. The largest known earthquake in recorded history a month ago led to a unmanageable series of earth moving smaller quakes that dropped massive amounts of land into the sea. Throw out your maps of the World, they don't work anymore. What the hell is next for humanity? I haven't a clue, but I am extremely glad and fortunate to be alive and to have seen this all happen in my time. I can't imagine how many poor souls lost their lives in this Geological upheaval. For now our small Army has become a small community of humans banning together and building shelters for all. It kind of reminds me of
the town in the TV series "Little House on the Prairie" everyone willing to help one another. Sorry it has taken so long to get back to you all, but I've been a bit busy and on the move despite a sprained left knee. Even though we pretty much stayed off the main road accidents do happen and I'm recovering quite quickly, no time to stop and heal up till we reached this spot. Stoney's here as well as his family and Louie C and Ziggy with their family's too. Our radio station KB723 hasn't brought us to much information as you can understand with things in such Chaos. Most hostility's go unreported for those who are still keeping track of human history, and the struggles that have gone on we will probably never know. For now we are hoping that the Earth is done smashing what is left of humanity so we can get along with our lives. The weather is still highly unpredictable as it has been for years, so we have built our shelters into the side of this mountain facing the sun for as much passive solar energy we can collect throughout the day. The dwellings are really quite comfortable and are starting to resemble Hobbit houses. We are strewn out among the tree line or as some call the Timberline. Years ago I remember thinking about moving up here to the Rockies because of a premonition I had have about this day. It sure would have been easier back then, but again as they say hindsight is 20/20. Things are tough but getting more organized with every new day. A few people arrive everyday (By boat) it seems as we can see down into the valley and the new ocean front property line. I catch myself singing that old George Straight song "Ocean Front Property" in my mind several times a day. Thats about it for today, I'll get back to you folks as soon as I can!
