They all sat on the two boats, overturned on the pale sandy beach. The sprawling body of water, vivid blue with the sky's reflection shimmered in front of them. Three more days on the winding Pecos had brought them to the border reservoir. The river moved them from wide open range to the canyon with tall red bluffs rising on both sides, the rocky walls that the lake ahead was named for. Sometimes the river narrowed and the shores were lined thickly with trees and more times than they liked, fat dark snakes draped in those trees. Startled from their decoration pose in the shrubs they would drop to the brown water and slither away in swirling patterns.

Then...there it was, the lake. The river pushed them right out into the open water. They put into shore, dragged the boats up on land and flipped them over, now sat quietly on them and looked out at the view. They couldn't see the dam or anything built up around the lake. Will would have to get out his map and compass later so they could get their bearings.

A noise made them all turn. Far up the shoreline, a plume of dirt grew. Something was coming and it was drawing closer all the time. That sound? Will hadn't heard the sound of an engine in years. That is, other than the low and never ending hum of the generators at Far View. A whole massive room of them, that you felt throughout the bunker haven, more than heard.
