Robert went over it all one more time in his head, he knew there would be no turning back, that this was a one way trip, and there would be no convenience store just down the block if he needed anything. He had to take what he wanted with him. The backpacks were a bonus, they gould carry several articles of clothing, socks, undies, soap, small camp sewing kit, all the things he had learned he would need on those 50 mile hikes with the boy scouts. Say what you will but they did teach you to be prepared on those kind of trips.
Another thing he was glad of was the time he spent in the military, he know just how strong the military footlockers were, and how convenient they were for keeping things organized. The first one, he improvised himself, he wanted cookware that was going to last, they would be cooking over open fires for a few years he figured, as an avid western movie watcher he learned that cast iron cookware was pretty sturdy, and that copper/tin combo coffee percolators worked really well. He had the foresight to include some serious kitchen cutlery, and when he thought cutlery he thought knives, big butcher knives down ti the small paring knife. forks and spoons could be carved, but he did include a nice set nonetheless.
The second M.B. as he had taken to thinking of his military boxes was the tools. Tools he thought he would need, hand tools, no power tools, just could not afford the space for them and hand tools. he loved to watch that show New Yankee Workshop the one with the kind of young funny talking guy that used nothing but old fashioned hand tools. he had a tool for just about anything. So after watching hundreds of hours of that show, he obtained what he thought he was going to need, lots of planes and plane blades and bits, several hand drills and bits and an auger, a very nice chisel set and hammers, wrenches and other craftsmen type tool box tools. he was going to want to build and furnish a cabin at some point in the future.
M.B. Three, this he was glad to have been able to obtain, he still had a friend in the Military, that just happened to work in the supply company, and happened to know where there was a mis-placed fully stocked military mobile hospital foot locker, all the scalpels, clamps, and tweezer any non doctor could use, plus a ton o antibiotics, penicillin, and other long lasting medicines. The pain meds he thought would be very important in the event of a serious accident for either himself, his wife, or their dog.
M.B. Four and Five, there was no helping it, he needed two footlockers for protection items. This was the hardest decision he had made, whether to bring guns, or the Bows and Arrows. In the end he decided on the Bows. He felt it would be easier to replace arrows than it would to replace bullets.
The last M.B. was his information and communications system. He knew that he would not be able to replace anything in that locker other than the pencils and paper, he already knew how to make his own paper, and in a pinch, charcoal works for writing.
He was ready, as ready as they could be given space and closing in time constraints. Walter had called this morning to warn him they were on to something. Walter was unsure of who they were, but someone or some group had been nosing about him for the last year, and were closing in on him. He was going, he was going to take his family and get out of harm's way. He said he hoped we would be able to meet up in the past but there was no guarantee they would, he wished my wife and I good luck, and strongly suggested we skedaddle out of time also, as our time was coming to an end also, he was sure about it. Robert trusted Walter with his life, had in fact had his and his wife's life changed and altered forever because of Walter. It was time to go.
A New Beginning
A little river, mountains in the distance, trees that were recognizable, the past, Robert was unsure how far they had traveled, he was unsure if they would ever find Walter, but he, his wife, and their dog, had a new life before them, and the worries of the future were left there, in the future.

Here is the link to this round in the IFC Round 34 Time Travel
Here is the link to catch up round 35: Round 35 Creative Minds
Season one is beginning to wind down, I would urge any of you that are thinking about an entry to give it a shot, even if you do not make the final 16, it will let you become familiar with the game process and mechanics for season two. This has been a very fun and engaging challenge since it started back at the end of January, I and several others have had a lot of fun trying to think outside of our normal box, and come up with some creative content.
Visit us on our discord channel, and look around. If you are in the "Market" looking for a unique gift for a special someone, take a look at some of our vendor rooms. Here is a link to "The Marketplace Flyer". It will be a weekly edition, issued on each Thursday, so you can think about that weekend gift.
I hope you enjoyed my entry.
Great energy!!! I'm so glad you all have been such faithful easygoing helpful individuals! Thank you for your entry! Good luck!
That was fun to read! And that sure would be an adventure, but.. Sometimes it seems like going back to primitive times would be a lot more preferable to a lot of what we see today. If only we could go back and start over but with what we know now.. I sorta feel like that with my whole life, heh.. And I think a lot of other people do thus that quote that goes something like. "Youth is wasted on the young".. If only we had the wisdom of our older years when we were younger! Similarly with the history of our whole civilization.. If we could go back with what we know now.. It seems like things would be way better. However, that's not the way life works as far as I know! Thanks for the super interesting and entertaining entry!
It was fun, like all the challenges, they make us think. That has been one of the nice things about this contest, people get to just be people and try to think and be themselves. I think you will be seeing more and more games like yours in the future. Look at the number of new "greeter" type groups that have formed since @mudcat36 and @davemccoy formed the newbieresteemday group. And those type groups are growing. Look at how many new Vendors your Marketplace has gotten, and how many deals are being done, and all in a short two and a half weeks. People are seeing us all having fun, and getting along, even when there are difference in age, lifestyle and all the other "groups that should not fit together" are fitting together. Why? Because we are just people having fun. No agenda's. One tried to play the agenda card, only one during all this time. Didn't work to well for them. When people come together, we can see past, over, or around our differences when all we want to do is have a little peaceful fun.
You deserve a steemit nobel peace prize, for what you have done and created.

I think you're ready to go to war my friend! I want you on my side :D
Wow, what a beauty of sky! Though its gloomy but looking very beautiful.

I do not see @raftaar comment as spam, He may have use the words "very beautiful" in a number of post but then again I use the same phrase several times in lots of post also, does that make me a spammer? If his comment had nothing to do with the picture then yes spam, however it does sort of describe the picture I used. So your Spam: 78% and Bot: 78% score. You need to look at the context of the comment not just keywords. Please edit your comment and make an apology to @raftaar.
Yup, I agree he's definitely trying more than most accounts I find so I've updated my comment and whitelisted this account.
Thank you.
I'm glad to help!
I have asked for the @pleasestop people to make an apology to you and to edit their comment, I do not see your comment as spam, you obviously did take the time to LOOK at the picture, which @pleasestop did not.
great contest topic - I'll look for time to enter it
