Chapter 11

Southeast of Lubbock, Texas – October 2038

The travel trailers arrived the next morning after breakfast. The men dropped off three campers on the road in front of Walt’s home and then took off to bring three more. Jon summoned Samantha and told her Walt wanted the trailers lined up beside the machinery shed. All Jon had to do was to hitch the trailers to Samantha. Samantha placed the campers exactly where Walt had said to put them.

Walt watched Samantha expertly maneuver the trailers by herself and said. “I hear they have newfangled farm tractors that can be programmed, and the farmer never has to leave his home. I don’t like that.”

Jon said, “I would agree, but that truck has saved my life several times and makes me laugh. It’s silly, but she’s one of my best friends.”

Walt almost jumped when Samantha spoke through her outside speaker, “Aw shucks Jon. I love you too.”

“See what I mean, Walt?”

“No. She’s just a machine.”

Jon laughed. “Be careful what you say. Samantha has feelings.”

Jon talked Walt into showing him how to use the backhoe on the back of the tractor and began digging holes for jury-rigged septic tanks. They used two fifty-five gallon plastic drums for the containers. Bob assigned the kids to drill the holes in the drums with battery-powered drills. The windmill generator and a bank of solar cells provided the electricity for the farm and could easily keep the drill’s batteries charged. Bob and Charlie ran water lines above ground until they could borrow a ditch witch to dig the narrow trench to place the pipe below the frost line.

The farm’s auxiliary power supply didn’t have enough capacity to power all of the trailer’s needs. Still, they did run wires to give each one the ability to run one light in the living room. All the campers had propane-powered cook stoves, and two had their solar panels on the roof.

They worked hard, setting up the trailers, and soon they all had their own private camper with Jill staying with her family. Jon and Barb were happy with their thirty-six-foot camper with four slide outs. It was larger than Barbara’s apartment in Atlanta but still tiny for a home, but they were delighted. Bo stayed in the house with the Scotts. Walt gave each group adequate supplies of toilet paper, food, and cleaning supplies that his group had scavenged from the abandoned stores of Lubbock.
