Tyler Lacey's Story

 

It was Tyler Lacey's turn to gather the cattle and the strays in the upper mountain ranges and move them down to the lower meadows before winter set in on the Flying T2 Rough Stock and Cattle Company ranch.  Tyler and his four brothers took turns being the line rider living in the line shack, one month at a time, doing what a cowhand's work required.  The Christmas holiday was approaching fast and Tyler was looking forward to finishing up the job and going back down the mountain to join his brothers and parents for Christmas dinner and the tree decorating at the big house.  On his way down the trail he questioned why an old chuck wagon was coming up the cattle trail trespassing on the T2's upper range.

 

Calico Gunderson was on the way to her Uncle's Broken Arrow Ranch down near Smithville, Arizona with her brother Corey and her sister Ginger.  She somehow made two wrong turns with her wagon and found herself lost and heading west up a mountain trail that was getting narrower as she climbed higher.  Calico was trying to figure out how she could get the wagon and mule team turned around and going south, when a sudden and freak snow storm hit the mountain area stranding her and the children in the wilderness.
