Mining Run around the world, Surprise at Camp Phoenix and Journey into PVP1
Atlas Haven, Eudoria
So there I stood, sipping my morning coffee, gazing out from the Atlas Haven entrance into the wilds. I was reflecting on all the places I have been on this planet and all the places I haven't been. Wondering what I could do today, I decided that mining was the urge of the day. Now the next question was....where?
Nymphtown, Eudoria
I have heard of this run from Nymphtown to Minopolis can yield some good results, so I though I would try it.

As the claim ended up being on the smaller side, I changed locations to see if that would make a difference.
Tethys Cheek, Eudoria
This ended up being a very short run due to more small claims. But I did find a abandoned camp I didn't know existed.

Disgusted with this run I headed back to Eudoria and hoped for the best. I thought I might the location where I once found a tower near Camp Phoenix. Maybe I will have better luck there.
Camp Phoenix, Eudoria
Yea it paid off! I only hit once out of 6 bombs but it was a good one!

I was still looking forward to some mining but needed to sell my ores to buy more bombs. So I headed to Twin Peaks.
Twin Peaks, Eudoria
Soon I found a buyer by the name of Garrett MrEarth Clark. He gave me a 114% return on my Ores, so I was happy with that.
Now that I had some peds I bought 90 bombs and decided to try something new, PVP1!
Nymphtown, Eudoria
Now this is what I was hoping for (aside from not getting a global or HOF) It was a great run with a awesome 49% hit rate!! On top of that I reached level 8 in the Prospector profession and discovered many cool things about PVP1. Also before I left Nymphtown I was buying the Bombs and noticed this strange fellow hanging around. Weird

As I headed into PVP1 I ran across what was once an outer defensive spot.
Soon I was finding wreckage of all types.

It was a great run and I only ran into one green dot who turned and ran once he saw me. Good thing he did as I didn't have anything that would kill him.

As I was resting from this very long mining run I saw on the EBN headline news that a new creature had been geneticly engineered and released on TI, just North of TI City.
Treasure Island City, Amethera
So I headed off north from TI City and soon saw them in the distance. They looked like fuzzy white apes and all they did was just stand or sit and eat the grass. So I headed towards one to get a better look. As I got closer I started to realize just how big these suckers were. That is when one noticed me and reared up and....killed me

Wow! That was fun. I now wanted to finish up the day with a little mindless crafting. So I headed Atlas Haven
Atlas Haven, Eudoria
I did 70 clicks on my Generic Leather BP and raised its QR from 79.6 to 79.8.
I also did a 18 click run on Large Striped Cotton Texture BP and raised its QR from 16.9 to 17.6
and that ended a truly full day on the planet Calypso!
