give you two assignments. Every time you complete an assignment,
report back to the Captain.
I've been asked to choose a team for the wagon train. Which
animals should I choose?
Choose the mature oxen. Young oxen will not be able to survive
the heat of the desert, and Indians often attack travellers to
steal their mules.
I've been asked to decide when the wagon train should head
West. How will I know when it is the right time?
Go North, and look at the plains. When you get a message,
"the plains are getting greener", "and the mud is beginning to
dry".

oxen are hardy enough to withstand the desert heat where young
oxen get weak and die.

fine. The only way to tell is by trial and error.

the mysterious
letter, but where should I start?
First of all, talk to everyone in the Fort. A friend of
Jake's has some interesting thing's to tell you. Second,
remember Jake wrote he was burying your father, even though

a good place to look for clues.
I found Wilson Marshall's grave. What are the clues on the
gravestone?

the letter until you get a message, "hold it right there".
Unscramble the letters, and they will show you a secret room in
the Hotel you
need to find.
Where can I find the branding iron?

you will deliver a message to the occupant. Take the message up
to the man, and when he leaves, enter Room Eleven.
I'm in Room 11, and the occupant could return anytime. How can I
find Room 12 in here?
Remember the cannon on the gravestone? Walk up to the
cannon on the mantelpiece, and type "turn wheel of cannon".
Is there any way to enter Room 12 besides going through Room 11?
Yes. Go upstairs and walk out the door on the right. Walk to the
far right of the balcony, and type "climb ledge". When you are on
