227

You follow the course of the Colorado River, first north, and then west towards Picacho. Throughout your drive you are treated to a spectacular view of the mighty river and the Imperial National Wildlife Refuge, once the home of eagles and deer, and great flocks of Canada geese, ducks, and swans.

Within the hour, you reach the tiny settlement of Picacho. Rickenbacker radios the news to the convoy and tells them to halt while you go ahead to check that it is safe to enter. Picacho appears to be empty, but as you make your approach, a clansman appears from one of the log cabins and starts waving at you. He is smiling and, because of the pick-up you are driving, you assume he must think you are fellow clansmen.

If you wish to stop the truck, turn to 131.

If you wish to continue driving towards the settlement, turn to 61.
