RB050 The Log Jam

 Our Ranger Bill for Friday afternoon, 7/17/2026, is RB050

The Log Jam

It is springtime in the Shady River Valley. The Shady River fills with snow melt and logs from the various logging camps high up in the mountains. Bill calls on the services of Frenchy DeSalle to free up a spring log jam that is causing the Shady River to flood homes along its banks. The jam is so huge that Frenchy may not be able to clear it!

RB033 Chinook

  Ranger Bill is hoping for winter weather for Wednesday afternoon, 6/24/2026, with RB033:

Chinook

It's winter in the Shady Mountains. At least it's supposed to be. The dreaded Chinook winds are blowing. The winds make it 50 degrees in the mountains when it ought to be 15 degrees below zero. The snow in the Shadies is melting and filling up Mid-Mountain Dam and cracking off huge chunks of glacier ice. The rising waters and the moving ice are threatening Mid-Mountain and Knotty Pine Dams. The threat to Mid-Mountain Dam grows with each passing hour of thaw. The dam operators ask Bill and the boys to do something to stop the ice. Bill calls on the one person he thinks can stop the ice boulders - Frenchy DeSalle. How can logger Frenchy help Bill stop tons and tons of speeding ice flows?

Maybe the title needs an exclamation point!

RB211/212 Muscle and Prayer parts 1/2

   Ranger Bill for Thursday and Friday afternoons (5/7/26 and 5/8/26) is

RB211 Muscle and Prayer (part 1)

Frenchy DeSalle fears no one and nothing. But the huge, strapping French Canadian logging foreman, has gone out of his mind with fear. Frenchy and his loggers find a cougar and a bear, both crushed to death. Frenchy knows these are the calling cards of the one man he fears, "The Bear." Who is this Bear? Why does Frenchy fear this man so? And what has happened to Frenchy's faith? Frenchy's boss calls for the one man who may be able to help Frenchy - Chief Ranger Bill Jefferson.

RB212 Muscle and Prayer (part 2)

Frenchy DeSalle and Boris the Bear want to fight to the bitter end, so Bill jails both of them until they cool off. Boris finally cools down and agrees to leave town, and Frenchy returns to work. But both men still harbor much pain and anger. Frenchy prays for an end to their feud while Boris depends on whiskey for strength. How will the Lord answer Frenchy’s prayer?
