That would be another good reason not to just charge north without some information.

Even if you had to go back a ways to a decently populated area, you would be more likely to get some useful information there than from some six-house wide spot in the road.

Hang around, help out, keep your ear to the ground. Information will be important to many people, and it is likely to be disseminated quite quickly once available.

You might even find other people who want to go the same way. And one who knows the area between here and there certainly would be an asset.
