An unexpected snowstorm reveals the commitment, bravery, and compassion of park rangers in the face of death and adversity. The mountainous terrain of Nature State Park does not deter Ranger Bob Franklin in his new Humvee from making a heroic attempt to save the life of a mountain recluse who has been attacked and severely injured by a bear. Bob decides to drive the “Vee” on a nerve-racking trek down a road constructed at the turn of the century for men on foot and wagons drawn by mules. Outside of radio and cell phone contact, he deems this dangerous path necessary to get the injured man medical attention in time to save his life. Driving at night in a blinding snowstorm, Bob and his new vehicle confront obstacles that threaten to overwhelm the men and the machine. Meanwhile, Supervisor Janna Brewster and the other park rangers are dealing with a lost child, another ranger’s broken leg, and the tragic death of the youngest ranger. These stories are all woven together like pieces of a quilt as the daring rescue unfolds.
