Tom can't really afford the finer things in life

DCMetro34: Thanks! I’m still trying to get better with my photos
K50Dude: Yes indeed most my files are back! Except my mom recent update was sketchy, so sorry you couldn’t see it. Unfortunately, I do not know where the flower farms came from, but, please check out SC4 Devotion under the farm section, they should be there. Thanks for voting too!
_marsh_: Haha, also, thanks for…abstaining? Or, being undecided! Also, good idea to have Tom sleep in his truck! Maybe just on the back

TomMCityfan2: Thanks for voting! Hahaha, how do you think the lady speaks odd?
In Other News: Fremont has voted to develop the valley with varied farms! Which 6 votes for, 2 votes against, and 1 abstaining, the proposal has passed surprisingly well! It is only a matter of time now when new farms want to move in.

So Tom stayed the night, forked over $30 and got a room that was…reasonable. It was actually about the size of his own closet. No matter, it held a bed and Tom slept well.

Tom woke up in the morning and took advantage of the free breakfast. He had about 10 pancakes, or, 15. Afterwards, Tom bid the owner of the B&B goodbye, and was on his way again! Soon, Tom noticed that he was out of gas, and then realized again he never checked how much gas there was when he bought it! Curses, so Tom pulled into a small parking lot.

It was very conveniently placed. Tom pulled in, started pumping gas, and went in to buy a chocolate bar. There wasn’t much conversation, as the cashier was half-asleep at his job. Soon, Tom was back on the road, and driving North. Tom drove, and drove, and drove

There were a couple creeks, and they looked very appealing to Tom, who hadn’t taken a shower for a couple days. However, Tom kept driving.

There was also a dirt road that Tom passed. He slowed his car to take a look at what was farther up

It wasn’t much, at least, not much interesting. There was a pile of wood, or something like that, and then the road took a turn and Tom couldn’t see around the turn. The road headed East, but Tom decided it was better to stay on the paved roads. After half a day of driving, Tom came upon another farm.

Which just so happened to be a flower farm. Tom kept driving, and soon

He passed some houses, civilization at last! Tom slowed down, and saw a sign that read “Welcome to Lowell, Population: 800” Very small town, so Tom went to the town center. He was hungry, looking for lunch.

However, the town center was very ritzy! All over the place were high-end shops and 5-star restaurants. Of course, nothing Tom could buy, it was all far too expensive! Tom stepped in one of the stores and pretended to look around, and then went to ask the clerk about the town.
“Excuse me, but I noticed that this place is very high-end, even though it is just a small town, how come that is?” Tom asked
“Oh yes! You see, this town was made because wealthy people from all over the US started making their summer homes here, due to the ‘great outdoors’ and the great fishing. Soon, a whole rich neighborhood sprouted up!” the clerk replied

“Wow, very interesting! Are all these houses summer homes?”
“Oh, most of them are, however, some retirees live here year-round. We have on and off-seasons.” The clerk said

“Ok, cool. Is there any cheap place I can get food?” Tom said. Now that he knew about the town and how he probably wouldn’t be able to afford to stay the night, he wanted out.
“Well…theres a sit-in restaurant, but no fast-food places as far as I know. Might I interest you in some clothing?”
“Um, no thanks, I have to meet…my parents very soon, however, thank you for your time!” Tom said, he started stepping back.
“No problem! Be sure to see our sales!” The clerk replied. And with that, Tom was out the door.
So, no fast food, looks like Tom will have to keep driving. And he did just that. Tom started driving once again

And driving…and driving…Until late afternoon,

When Tom came across a rockslide. There was some massive boulders that came down, and apparently there was a crew hurrying to get it out of the way too. It looked like it would take months to get all the rocks out of the way though, so Tom pulled off the road and started to think, what could he do?
This is where you can vote! Tom needs to know where to go, and there are a few possibilities
A) Take that dirt road seen earlier. It heads East, maybe it will lead Tom somewhere
B) Head back and look for another route. This could make Tom backtrack for a few days, since he’s been following the river and hasn’t seen any other roads.
C) Tom’s truck is pretty sturdy, if old. Tom should try driving up the hill and around the rockslide!
