About This Book

A troop of Boy Scouts undertakes an extended ride into rugged country, combining motorcycles and horseback travel, and becomes involved in a sequence of hazardous incidents near a remote quarry and logging camps. The narrative follows their tracking, ambushes, and rescue efforts as they navigate cliffs, sunken roads, and island camps, relying on practical outdoor skills, teamwork, and quick thinking to solve problems. Episodes of peril and aid prompt personal growth, and an initially arrogant local youth comes to appreciate the scouts' courage and principles.
