The Great Rescue

[Sneaky Gun Runner SASS 79775]

Sneaky cinched up the saddle one more time and looked behind his horse at the three mules in a string that would be following him all the way from Oklahoma Territory up to the great Pacific Northwest. It was a bad time of year for travelling and Sneaky knew the road would not be easy, but when your friends were in trouble you did what you had to do.

 

Badger and Okie had not been able to get out in days and it was clear that they had been caught by suprise this year. Sneaky had food enough to keep 'em fed and had a big enough bone for Cap'n Jack to gnaw on, but the gettin' there was worrisome. All he knew for sure was that he would be passing Griz's place on the way up and he was a hoping that he would at least have some company from there on. A long trail was a little less burdensome with a friend to share the distance with.
