+ You decide to leave Fort Stockton at dawn the following morning, but the weather deteriorates, putting a swift end to your plans. For two days and nights the town is hit by lightning storms and tornadoes, forcing you to remain in the basement of the motel. It is not until the morning of the seventh day of your mission (one day before your planned rendezvous with the convoy) that the tornadoes blow themselves out and you are able to leave the town in safety.
With Kate beside you, and the three marines clinging to the hood and trunk of your roadster, you crawl the twenty-three miles from Fort Stockton to the Balmorhea rest stop that Haskell found on your map. It is located at the entrance to a pass through the Barrilla Mountains and at first glance it appears to have suffered extensive damage in the recent storms. You bring the roadster to a halt with your fuel tank virtually empty, and it is with great trepidation that you and Sergeant Haskell go to inspect the fuel storage tanks while Kate and the others watch the road.
Of the eight underground fuel tanks located beneath the gas station area, only one looks promising. Of the others, six are empty and one is contaminated with diesel oil. A coded security valve locks the access pipe to the tank and, after a brief examination, you realize that the code must be cracked if you are to get at the contents. Any attempt to break off or cut through the valve would be sure to cause a spark that would blow the tank, and whoever was tampering with it, sky high.
When you first see San Angelo, the sun is a quarter hidden below the skyline, its soft red glow reflecting upon a cluster of tall buildings that stand at the citys centre. They are the ravaged shells of banks and state offices that were the pride of this once-prosperous city before The Day
. Surrounding them, for many miles, is a sea of dust and rubble. Your skin prickles when you realize that this is all that remains of the citys suburbs, an area that was once home to more than a million Texans.
- You are about to drive towards the centre when you notice that a fortified wall has been erected around the tall buildings of the downtown area, and that the northern freeway approaches are controlled by roadblocks. It would be near-suicidal to approach any closer, so you decide to make a wide detour around the city limits and try to approach from the south.

It would be near-suicidal to approach any closer, so you decide to make a wide detour around the city limits and try to approach from the south.
It takes you nearly two hours to reach the south side of San Angelo, by which time night has fallen. Fortunately, your decision to go south pays off; this section of the city is virtually uninhabited by the Angelinos and your approach goes undetected. Hidden by the darkness, you are able to get within a mile of the downtown area before you encounter any sign of clan activity. You know that if your rescue of Kate is to be successful you must not allow your roadster to fall into enemy hands, and with this in mind, you search for somewhere safe to leave it while you venture into the downtown area on foot.
An underground parking lot situated below the looted ruins of a Sears megamarket provides just such a safe haven, and it is here that you hide your car. You are tired after the rigours of your journey, so you decide to get a few hours sleep and attempt your rescue at first light.

. The convoy breaks out of Big Spring prior to daybreak and that morning Cal drives south to San Angelo, arriving at dusk. He spends the night in the basement of the Sears Megamarket. On day two, Cal rescues Kate and escapes from San Angelo. They spend that night in Eldorado [or fall asleep while driving through the night and crash]. The next day [day three], Cal and Kate drive to Bakersfield. They spend that night in the library there. On day four, they reach Fort Stockton and meet the WDL soldiers. At the beginning of Section 281, it mentions that the weather deteriorates at dawn the following morning which would be day five. So, two days and two nights of bad weather would mean that the heroes cannot leave until the morning of day seven. If it is day seven, however, that throws off the arrival at Kent which happens on day six, i.e. the day prior to the scheduled rendezvous with the convoy on day seven. It also throws off the statement in Section 350 that the adventure lasted one week. Therefore, amending the bad weather to one day and night rather than day six to day seven seems to be the best fix.
