OOC:
Totally fine to head off to the woods if that's what you wanna do, but just wanna run down what other leads you have in
Blackwater Creek:
-Prof. Roades' dig site;
-The Jarvey farm, where the Roades expedition spent a night;
-The Carmody farm;
-The kids outside the general store told you they collected the water with the weird stuff in it from "the creek, just uphill of the new dam".
I think that's it for now. There's also plenty to still check out in the general environs as well. Not trying to push you in any particular way, just want to make sure that stuff isn't forgotten about.
