Day 6 - Where Are All The Trees?

I emerged from my shelter to yet another clear morning, and no sign of anything evil. One last glance back at the lava pouring from the mountain and I headed off.

Goal for today: more wool and more wood.

With no immediate sign of either, I bounced my way around the steep hillside of the coast here and caught sight of an interesting looking mountainous structure up ahead.

As I got closer it appeared to be on its own island, so I wouldn't be climbing over it today at least. It did look like another good location for a base. I was already thinking of ways I could hollow it out, fit windows and doors and perhaps a lookout tower on the top. Maybe - and I know I always say this! - I will return one day.

With my latest batch of torches made my wood supplies were down to the last couple of blocks, and as I continued around the now flattening landscape there was no sign of trees anywhere. Plenty of grass, but there's no use for that as far as I know. The cows looked mockingly on - of course, a large amount of grass was fine for them.

Then, finally, a single lone tree appeared. Yay!

Oh well, four pieces of tree was better than nothing. My route circled around a large bay and took me right back past the island-mountain potential-fortress.

I found a single sheep wandering around and relieved it of its wool - 3 blocks, perfect. The next corner took me towards a desert area and another day was already drawing to a close, so I found a place to set up home on the edge of the desert, threw down a bed and popped my head on the pillow.
