FIELD NOTES — Swift Feather

• Clothing Report: Memphis wore a nightgown with jeans, but we set off anyway.
• Pack Behavior: We walked like a pack of dogs on a mission, even though it was just the two of us. I howled like a dog-wolf, and Memphis howled back.
• Creek Water: We drank creek water. It was green and slimy on our tongues.
• Echo Report: When we got lost, we shouted words like "Mama," "Papa," "saguaro," and "Geronimo," but no echoes came back.
• The Rancher: We told Jim Courten, the guy who owns Jim Courten Ranch, that our names are Isabelle and Gaston, and I'm pretty sure he believed us.
• Sir Fus in Love: It's supposed to be "Sara Falls in Love," but it doesn't really matter. Who was going to see the drawing but us, anyway?
• Memphis Lost: During our search, Memphis got lost outside of the Maverick Room diner. But I found her by the train, and it felt like the world was coming back together.
• Final Notes: I used Ma's big map to locate the Chiricahuas. We walked into the desert, and I held Memphis' hand, and I was never going to let go.
