After Pat had dried out his clothes and had returned to the camp, he put his hands close to the fire and looked around him to see all that copper canyon was

its bueaty was amazing, and took all of the travellers aback for a moment. soon however, the sun began to set, and the night started to arrive, marked by several howls from coyotes.

Pat put his hat back on and took out his winchester rifle, and said to the group

"you guys get some sleep, ill stay up and watch for a while"

meanwhile, Black Snake stayed up. He watched Pat and the gun that he carried. He was wary around most white men after what had happened to the tribe and he certainly was not going to sleep while any man with a gun laid near him.

(yeah, id love to actually go through it sometime lol)
(Also, i dont wanna advance the plot too much without She Seduced, she might get lost)

Pat noticed Black Snake's look, and said
"Don't worry Sir, i have no quarrell with the Native Americans. I was taught by my parents not to discriminate. Thats why i fought during the Civil War, to end slavery."

He heard Dolly grumble something about Yanks, and booze, and something else he couldnt make out.

Black Snake said he couldn't understand in the native tongue, then cupped a hand over his ear and shook his head.
(you're right, let's keep it on this conversation for tonight.)

(all right 'night)

Pat began to get weary as the night wore on. Just as he was moving to Tom to wake him up to take over guard duty, he heard a large growl in the bushes near their camp. He turned around and arimed his rifle at the bushes, right before 2 coyotes jumped out towards him. Pat fired off 4 rounds quickly into the first one, killing it instantly. however, the other one lunged onto him. Pat blocked its teeth with his rifle, and was on the ground grappling with it, its sharp teeth inches from his flesh.

Dolly couldnt sleep, she just sat by the fire with her new boots and her new blue dress. She had her hair down tonight, it rested on her shoulders as she starred at the fire. This was the longest she had been sober, and she was kind of getting used to it.

As Pat rolled on the ground, he yelled

"Dolly! help! get this mongrel off of me!"

The amount of rolling and fighting that he and the coyote were doing prevented an accurate shot from a weapon, without risking shooting Pat

Dolly stood up and rushed over to him, flicking out her small knife she grabbed the coyote and dug her knife into its skull. As the coyote went limp, she plucked the knife out and shoved the beast off of him. She held out her hand, offering to help him up.

Pat took her hand and got up. He brushed the dirt off his shirt and tipped his hat

"Much obliged, ma'am."
He sat back down at the fire with his rifle at the ready, but looked at Dolly across the fire.
"You know you mightve saved my life. Another minute with that varmint and who knows who'd be eatin who"

She smirked and sat back down admiring the fire. These sober days seemed to get longer and longer. All she could think about was her past and this why she drank most of the time. It wasnt just for the warm sensation down her thraot, it was because the Civil War had done horrible things to her. She just didnt want to remember.

The rest of the night passed uneventfully, and in the morning, everyone had awoken to the smell of meat....coyote meat.

Pat had cooked up the meat from the beasts, and had roasted it over a fire. He then went down to the river by their campsite, and took a little bit to wash up for the next day.

Tom had been stirring during the time when the coyote attacked Pat, but wasn't able to do much. Once it all seemed to be solved he just kind of went back to sleep. Meanwhile, Black Snake put some stinky herbs around the perimeter of the camp to try and keep animals away. "Sorry," he said to Tom in apache, "I should have done this earlier."
"Don't worry about it, now eat your coyote meat." Tom said his mouth full after taking a big bite of his breakfast. It tasted like chicken.

After breakfast was finished, Pat packed up his tent and the rest of his supplies, and got up on his horse

"Well Tom, do you....have...the..oh crap! let me see your bag!"

Pat grabbed Tom's bag and searched through it, and then yelled

"We lost the map over the waterfall!!! How are we gonna get outta the canyon now?!?"

"Um, we dont." Dolly shrugged standing on her feet, and wipping her eyes.

Pat looked at Dolly and said

"Thanks for the input."
"Okay, i guess we'll just have to find south and work our way that way."
He looked to the sun
"Its early morning, so the sun should be rising in the east....so that means south is that way"
he turned and pointed southward, which was blocked by mountains and rivers and canyons and slopes.
"Okay people, lets mosey on out."
He got on his horse and led the way

(can i join, or is it too late)

][join up][ Dolly rolled her eyes and saddled her horse. She looked at Pat and tom and waited for a plan, she took her hair clip out and pinned her hair out of her face.

(yeah, feel free to join, you'll just have to start off as a lost traveller in the canyon we're in)

Pat lead the way down the river near their camp, this one more of a stream and much more gentler. They followed it for some time untill they came into a dead end in a canyon, with hills around them.
"I guess we'll have to go up onto those cliffs."
The group began to climb the hills, nudging their rides along. when they finally got to the top, they looked out across the canyon, with all its majesty, and could see the exit, near the horizon.
"Let's keep moving"
They continued to move along the cliffs of the mountains, rocks breaking away now and then, scaring the horses...
