  RANGER BILL for Saturday afternoon, 3/21/2026, is:

Two men, Mr. Delong and the Carabou, cut down trees in the mountains outside Knotty Pine. Delong says he is a lumberman, but Bill found out he is an antique book seller. Delong has the Carabou cutting down more than a hundred trees.

Our rangers learn that Delong is looking for a treasure hidden in a tree. The treasure may be something left behind by the Donner Party on their ill-fated journey west in 1847.

RB011 Death's Half Mile

  RB011 is our RANGER BILL story for early Saturday morning, 3/21/2026,

"Death's Half Mile".

One stretch of road outside of Knotty Pine generates at least three accidents a week. It's called Death's Half Mile. This road has a very sharp corner followed by a narrow bridge followed by a nearly blind railroad crossing. Bruno Allen and his son live on a ranch near the roadway. They must be ready at a moment's notice, day and night, to call police and offer first aid to the injured.

Ranger Bill and his men intend to end the nightmare at Death's Half Mile!
