Dark Ocean:  meet the Bison.  

Grass Ocean:  we find our way out of the never ending mountains and are at the edge of a vast ocean with a great people with 4 legs who move about almost like an ocean themselves, eating and trampling vast swaths of grass.  

They live long enough to learn much, but not enough to sorrow too much in the leave-taking.  They start a fight with the women, but the men did not want to let them go!

We find a Sheltered Valley where we learned to build near streams, safe from flash flooding, with other shelters safe when snow grows deep.  We design in our minds one house built on another, and with two exits so no one dies of fire.  There are choice tidbits about the buildings of the Water Walking People.

A summary of our walks, our learning places, and our sought for next edge of ocean home.  We travel east again. We arrive at another ocean, and this is the story of our arrival.
