The caravan drove by again this morning. This time the people in the cars were honking as they went by.

We had already been packing the essentials to move out of the warehouse. We had a plan to escape the walkers by breaking one of the windows on the east side of the warehouse, and using the speakers on an  XBox (with Beatles Rock Band) to make enough noise to attract the walkers away from the front door. At that point we would make a run for the Jeep and one of our other cars. We weren't going to use Johnny Dog as a diversion. She is doing very well by the way.

The plan was to head out early this morning. The weather looked clear. We were going to go to my parent's house first.

Right when we we ready to go, the caravan came by. They obviously drew the walkers away with the honking.

What to do?

"We have to make a break for it!" Jerry exclaimed. "They are going to come back, and they definitely out number us."

Greg, who had been very quiet lately, agreed. "Our only issue is how we outrun them if they see us drive away."

"If we are going to do it, we have to go now!" Jerry yelled, as he grabbed his bags. We all followed. Jen had Johnny Dog by the collar.

Jerry and Greg jumped in the Jeep. Jen, Billy, Johnny Dog and I were in the other car. I drove. We each had a half tank of gas, which would limit how far we would go. As we were pulling out of the parking lot, Billy saw the caravan in the distance. I accelerated past the Jeep (Jerry was driving), and Billy yelled out the window to Jerry that the caravan was heading back towards us.

As we drove down the road, Billy kept a sharp eye out behind us. To our relief, the caravan pulled into the warehouse parking lot.

Safe for now, we headed to my parents house. We were going to spend a night there, and then head to our more permanent residence. If we could find gasoline.
