Check the Back Door Lock!

Check the Back Door Lock!
Clark and the sixteen hunters are 44 miles downstream from Fort Mandan. That is Federal Way from Lynnwood on I-5 in the snow and ice with no motorhome, travel trailer, hotel, motel, Denny’s, IHOP, or, danger of dangers, no Starbucks!
Over the past few days the men have taken 26 deer, 10 elk and 3 bison. Several have been too lean to eat. Most of the men continue to hunt while some are assigned to butcher the meat.
Back at the fort Lewis discovers that the Indian wives of the interpreters have been opening the gate of the Fort during the night to let in anyone who wants to enter. He orders a lock to be installed on the gate immediately.
How many times do we assume because we have taken measures to secure our situations that we are safe? Like Fort Mandan, where walls were erected and the gate was barred from the inside, do we look secure yet house those who don’t understand you can’t open the front door to everyone who knocks?
If we’ve allowed unauthorized access to our “forts”, lets take measures today to send the interlopers out and then lock the door behind them!
