Can you give me some tips on my writing?

kids jeep tent image

Catherine

It started like it always did in the stories, a disease that wiped out the majority of the nation and people taking control of government for the wrong reasons. What was America was completely different. I looked around the hot living room, nothing special, a stack of books here, a clock there and the dirty sofa I was sprawled across. The house wasn't ours. That was obvious by the pictures of a doting couple scattered across the walls, they were probably dead. I picked up a wedding picture; 'Frank and Anna Fiddler forever' was scrawled around it in pretty cursive. Where was your forever now? I thought setting it aside.
âTrider? Where are you?â My father called from the hall.
âIn here, Dad.â
He stepped in and leaned against the doorframe. He was a tall man with a narrowâbut strongâframe and short, dark hair. âWe need to go, a refugee was spotted in deadwig. Teenage male. Tall. Skinny.â Refugees were people hiding from the cruel government.
âMale?â
âYeah, different. Usually the refugees are women.â He reached for the gun sitting on the table and strapped it on his belt before throwing me the other gun. âLetâs go.â
I slid into the passenger seat and propped my booted feet on the dashboard earning a look from my father. âSorry,â I muttered and crossed them instead.
âIs that our campsite?â My father asked as he squinted his eyes to see the little navy blue tent.
âYes.â
My father parked the jeep in front of the camp and began talking to Johnny, a thick, tall man while Johnnyâs brother Kent argued with Georgia. I couldnât help but notice that her face was turning as red as her hair. I tell what the argument was about, something to do with the radio in their car. A mosquito buzzed in my ear and I swatted at it before entering the tent. It was November, there be any , but after the Disease everything became hotter. The tent was dark and I could make out two figures, Rosie and David. David was the strawberry-blond, blue-eyed son of Johnny. Rosie was a six-year-old refugee we had found three months ago. She never spoke, and never trusted us.
âAny progress?â I asked without much concern.
âNo,â he leaned against a pole supporting the tent and crossed his arms tightly. His hair had gotten long enough to curl on the ends.
I peeked out of the tent to see Georgia give up the argument and storm back to her truck. She got in and slammed the door loudly while Kent smirked in amusement.
âDavid! Trider!â Johnny called.
âCâmon,â I muttered to David. Kent passed us and slipped quietly into the tent, he must be watching Rosie. I hopped into the passenger seat and David in the back. My father shoved the key in the ignition slammed on the gas. Instead of riding with his father, he chose to ride with us. His father and Georgia usually tracked the refugee, David found that boring.
There was static and then the Georgiaâs voice came through the radio. âHello? Can you hear me, Steven?â She asked my father.
âYes, we can hear you. Have you spotted him yet?â
âSteven, we just left the campsite. How could we have spotted him?â
âJust wanting to know . . .â He trailed off and swerved to avoid hitting a boulder.
âWait! Maybe! I seeâoh, never mind. That was a deer.â
âWe canât just drive around all day looking for some kid whoâs probably already fried his brain from the sun,â David said from the backseat after almost an hour had passed.
âWeâve got the time.â
âDo we?â David snapped at my father. âI thought Iâd have a nice life and look where I am.â
âSurrounded by people who love you?â My father asked sarcastically, âWhat a torture.â
âNo!â David barked. âLiving in fear, feeling like Iâm one step closer to what I want most before having it ripped away from me!â
âDavid, be thankful you arenât in the camps.â He said the word so quietly I almost didnât hear. The camps were where the government sent its captures, mostly children or women. The Clanâwhich was usâfound refugees and offered them shelter and food.
âI am. I am thankful, sir.â
David often bickered with the adults of the Clan. Georgia never really did like him, and Kent only tolerated him because David was his nephew. And Johnny basically had to love him, it was his son. Davidâs mother had a mental breakdown when her sister and mother died in the Disease, she went insane and no one really knew what happened next.
I chose to ignore the argument, like usual. When I argue, I end up hitting the other person. It happened many times before. The sun was beginning to set when we spotted something.
âGeorgia?â My father said to the radio. âWe see him! Heâs leaving Flynn and heading towards Sonling.
âOn our way. Stay safe, you guys.â
Johnnyâs static-filled voice cut the silence. âDavid, keep your gun with you at all times.â
âYes, sir,â David replied.
We parked the car and got out, heading towards the wooded area of the desert. âHeâs right,â My dad said. âTrider, David, only shoot if you have too.â
Just some tips on how to make it flow better, how to build character background, this is the first couple paragraphs to a story based in a post-apocalyptic wasteland. Anything that you can think of to help and please point out the errors and what's wrong. Thanks.

Answer
comma splices to fix
throwing a loaded gun is a great way to kill someone accidentally
you introduce too many character names too quickly
Don't tell so much background. Let it seep in through context.

Things to do while RV camping?

T

We are in our 40's & Have a few kids from 6 -16 in a 28 ft travel trailer , and looking for things to keep us busy or things to bring for a family's 1st time camping trip in the NY CT ME RI area.Tailgating ideasfor the adults are also considered. in addition to any lighting flags party favor ideas for the whole experience.. We have tent camped and just upgraded froma pop up..

Answer
Whenever I go camping, be it in a tent or an RV, I choose my destination because there's things I want to do or see there. Neither the RV (or tent) nor campground is my destination, I only go there to sleep or maybe take some meals.

We enjoy visiting national and state parks, BLM land, wilderness properties owned by friends and members of our or other Jeep clubs. We spend our time off-roading, hiking, climbing, fishing, horseback riding, kayaking, floating and just enjoying the scenery. Upstate NY - Adirondacks and Catskills regions - is a favorite destination. Maine and western Massachusetts also offers outdoor recreational and scenic opportunities. If we go to a "tourist" type area, we'll visit the typical sites, hit the shops, take lots of pictures, maybe spend one or two days relaxing by the pool at the campsite.

The only things I ever brought to keep the kids busy at camp were their bicycles, a couple of board games and some videos for them to watch on the TV or laptop in case of rain.

Jeep liberty Tranny over heat warning light?

Dana

I have a 05 jeep liberty about 60k on it. I was going camping last summer with the family here in arizona, for those of you that know the liberty, they have hardly no cargo room with the rear seats up. Anyways I put the kids side by side and flipped down the right section of the rear seat for more cargo space. WE were LOADED, a family tent, two 7 gallon coolers, 2 sleeping bags, two lanterns with propane, our luggage, about 5 blankets, pillows, chain saw, and 3 of those fold up in a bag chairs. and a fishing pole/tackle box. Couldn't see out the read window at all...I mean i had stuff packed up my two little boys feet on the floor board. Anyways we started driving up the rim which is a good 70 miles of constant up hill. about 40 miles in the light came on, i pulled over look at my manual, and instructed to shut off the car and wait till the light goes off. did that everything was good and went camping and since then the light has not come on, been about a year. I seem to be driving alot in overdrive going up that day, should i kick it down to 2nd gear? or just drive very slow?? I plan on purchasing a roof basket some time in the futur so all my weight isn't in the back it will be more evenly distributed also..but whats are your thoughts/experiences??

Answer
Sell it, and get a 4x4 Cherokee XJ. Get the straight 6 which you can run 200k to 300k miles on easily. Huge after market, more cargo room.

For your Liberty; You might want to look into adding a transmission cooler. They cost $50 and are very easy to install. A mechanic should be able to install one in an hour.
