### Landmarks

Jerboa Trading Post is along the large desert river. It's built into and on an enormous area of ruins near a bridge which can be seen from far off as you approach. The lower part of the outer area is landscaped with many trees, which stand out in the deep desert as you approach and the base renders.

## Notable Amenities

* Because this location is a personal base it *might* have all of the crafting tables from every mod.
* This location is also home to JTP Hatchery, located in a series of outbuildings that can be reached by taking an elevator just behind the base.
* There is ample visitor parking in the hatchery area. Please look for signs and/or ask where to park as there are several dinos at this location for breeding, and it can get a little crowded.
* A large annex pen of Rexes sit at a fair distance behind the hatchery, on a flat area of the dunes. This is to reduce lag in the region, as having so many dino and structures in one area can effect graphics performance.
* Similar to Commerce Castle this location's name is inspired by its theme of trade, with many of the Eco Shoppe Decor Mod featured. It's intended to host trade events, should the server gain a large enough Role Play (RP) population.

## PTC Rules

* If you use it, replace it. This goes for resources, supplies, and common crafted gear.
* This location does not have any communal animals (as of summer 2018) so do not use any parked dinos without asking.
* If you come in with a hungry character or dino, do not take so much food that the next player stopping in will find the base supplies deficient.
* If you spend a time there, feed any dinos.
* Do **not** take any high stat or one-of a kind saddles or armor without asking.
* This location has a take-one/leave-one box for saddles and more. Ask Kasa for details.

## Wildlife and Dangers

Heat in this type of desert is punishing so dehydration can be a high risk while outside. The area near the base itself is typically calm for the desert, with occasional vultures flying near the building. Stray far though and you may encounter terror birds, scorpions, and carnos roaming in packs with a yutyrannus encouraging them to terrorize the area. The deep desert also has sabertooths, thorny dragons, dire wolves, and hell pigs that maraude in groups. Though they are not common rock elementals do spawn here, so look for rocks that look like them when they are in their resting state, as they are extremely dangerous.

## Screenshot with Landmarks

This is the view of Jerboa Trading Post from the air above the river. The bridge that can be seen from far off is on the left. Extremely far off in the distance you can see the striated mountainside that marks the end of the deep desert and start of the redwoods; note that the Red Obelisk barely shows behind that mountain range as it nears the ocean. If you could turn to the left, you would see snowy mountain peaks even further off and the Green Obelisk.
