The CDC message changed this morning. They want everyone who is healthy enough to travel to report to "decontamination camps" scattered around the state. The weird thing is they aren't in the metropolitan areas. There wasn't a single listing for Kansas City, St. Louis or Springfield.
I'm also a little leery that most of the locations of these "camps" are National Guard armories. After what I saw yesterday, I'm not sure that someplace full of guns is the place I want to be. I think I'm going to spend the day fishing and lay low for a while longer.
Addendum 5:30 p.m.: Looks like my plans to stay won't be working out after all. A few hours ago I noticed smoke coming from the direction of my cabin. I waited a bit and then circled around to come at it from the far side where there was more tree cover.
I guess I wasn't as good at covering my tracks as I thought. Four men dressed in black BDU-style uniforms were standing around watching while my cabin burned. After a while they pounded a signpost into the ground and headed off on foot back toward the access road.
When I was sure that they were gone, I ran down to the cabin and tried to salvage what I could. I didn't get much. My net worth is now my fishing gear, a small backpack, a blanket, a canteen and few bags of beef jerky.
I'm waiting until sundown to walk to where I hid my truck. If it's still there, I'll have a few more supplies, but otherwise I'm on foot until I can find something else.
Who the hell were those guys anyway? And why would they put a bio-hazard sign in front of my cabin?
