Roll Muddy River Roll

Emberizadae and Rorohontas grabbed their banjos, their bibles, and rations and made an arduous journey to a “new” world via the Wilderness Road. They traversed Clinch Mountain, forded the muddy Powell, and took the Cumberland Gap through the chain of the Appalachians to the most western frontier of Kaintuck.

Along Wilderness Road they followed the fresh tracks of grizzly and the great frontiersman Daniel Boone. They met a guy named Davy who furnished their heads with functionally warm yet beautiful coon hats. In exchange Emberizadae hunted squirrel which Rorohontas turned into squirrel pesto. Davy and Rorohontas shared some ‘shine and berry and adelgid cobbler from the dutch oven before getting back on separate ways. Before long Emberizadae and Rorohontas ran into a small band of Cherokee on the warpath. Miss Emberizadae looked fearful but still relinguished some jerky and eggs to the injun women and children. I told the injun leader what I could about the lay of the land and how best to avoid the white man. The leader reminded Emberizadae and Rorohontas that as far as the eye could see north and south it was a wild world. It is okay they said, “we are wild girls.”
