In my procedures, 30 days means 120 random encounter checks on a d6, so 20 encounters on average. With 8 stops along the way. That is a pretty big journey and get the feeling of wilderness across long before the reach the final outpost even if they beeline straight up there and ignore any opportunities to check out stuff that is visible from the river.</blockquote>
