RANGER BILL for
Saturday afternoon, Aug. 24, 2024 is
RB216 (my episode #) Pendleton Valley Fire'
aka First Ranger Bill Show aka First Snow (part 1 of 3) 15 min. long
Fire has broken out in Pendleton Valley. Colonel Ander and his rangers rush to the valley to extinguish the fire, but dry weather is making their fire fight very, very tough. The Colonel is afraid they won't be able to control the blaze, so he sends Ranger Bill and his ward Henry into the mountains to Pine Ridge Dam. Bill is also taking along two horses and a box of high explosives.
Parts 2 and 3 of this very first RANGER BILL adventure are available only as PDFs or in print as scripts.
In parts 2 and 3, Bill and Henry first travel by truck and then by horseback to Pine Ridge Dam. The boys set up camp at the dam and begin 4-hour shifts through the night watching for a signal to blow up the dam and flood Pendleton Valley below to put out the fire. The two have devotions using John 1:12.
Bill reminds Henry keep a good fire going all night to keep predators away, especially Uncle Joe, the biggest mountain lion around. A rattler sneaks up onto Bill's leg, Bill escapes the rattler but badly sprains his ankle. Now Henry will have to crawl out on top of the dam to set the dynamite!
The signal comes in the wee hours of the morning to blow Pineridge. But rain has also come and made the dam extremely slippery to cross. Henry crawls across the wet stone dam and slips. Bill must gather his strength and will to crawl out to Henry with an injured leg! Can our two heroes save themselves while destroying Pine Ridge?
