On Saturday night, Outlaw and Slow Poke pulled into the
Cystal Geyser hideout where Sundance was waiting. By sticking to back roads, the journey to
Crystal Geyser had been undetected by Viro-nazis. The three desperados spent a quiet evening
watching the geyser put on a show, sipping sodas, and beginning the long
process of dreaming up this campfire tale.
The truth is out there and all lies lead to it, but our heros have never
been interested in the truth. Only in
getting a good laugh, sitting next to an eye-level fire, and pigging out on
Cherry cobbler cooked in a dutch oven.
Sunday morning, the trio left the hideout and pulled into
Green River for fuel. There was no sign
of the Viro-nazis. The trio flipped on CB
13 for communications knowing the Viro-nazis would be monitoring it. The scripts for the day had already been
written.
The trio headed west on I-70 to the exit for Hanksville. Three Viro-nazi vehicles were waiting at the
off ramp. Outlaw’s scanner picked up the
transmission. “Outlaw and two bandits
just passed checkpoint one. No sign of
the rest of the patrol.”
The three vehicles followed the trio to Hanksville. At that point the trio gave them the slip by
turning onto a narrow side trail and hiding in the brush until they
passed. The trio managed to avoid
detection for nearly two hours but as they approached a pass in the Dixie
Forest, the scanner came alive.
“Bandits approaching check point two. Will engage.”
