"Shouldn't be a problem," Ellen says. "Shiphrah, Puah, come here."
Not that the cow listens, but at least it doesn't wander off while Ellen goes to grab the reins and start leading it along the way. They're going to be at this for a while, and in a few places Andrea is going to have to get them back on the right track. The goggles are good, but they can't really differentiate too well between specific humans, and in a few areas there are traces of multiple passers-by relatively recently.
Eventually, though, they get to a point where the trail starts to swing around more west than north. Ellen consults her Pip-Boy, then squints into the distance. "Looks like they were making for those railroad tracks," she says. "The ones that look kind of like they're going down into a gorge... want to bet there are people perched up in the rocks with guns and a lot of spare time?"
