About This Book
A Boy Scout explorer troop visits an ailing prospector who confides the location of a hidden cache of gold and the violent events that kept him from returning. The Scouts obtain a treasure map and launch a search into a remote valley, facing hazardous terrain, missing supplies, and an avalanche. A suspicious motel owner complicates matters with theft and deception, and the party encounters ambushes and a dramatic involvement of a small plane. The story follows their capture, a daring escape and a final confrontation that resolves the mystery and secures the rendezvous to claim the find.
