Life in the big timber camps was tough even under the best of circumstances. But when a murderer invaded their space, things got worse, a lot worse. Scooter Sherman made his way from camp to camp, killing, cheating and lying and using his wits to keep ahead of the law. But one day, his luck ran out.

A feast for the senses...
Our senses are what make us the people we are. Our sense of touch helps us define our surroundings. Our sense of taste along with out sense of smell let us know what kind of a meal we have sitting before is. Our sense of sound helps us be more aware of our surroundings. And lastly, our sense of sight gives us knowledge of where we are.
If we were forced to give up one of these great senses, it would be terribly difficult to choose. But for a while, I think I could give up my sense of taste for a while, but in short order, I'd be relegated to a diet of Alpo or worse.
But on my trips down the rivers of Minnesota, I sincerely appreciate my sense of sight the very most. When the winds are still and I am floating slowly past a stand of magically colorful maple trees, I realize which of my senses mean most to me. It just has to be my sense of sight. When I see the face of a new grandchild or a flock of migrating geese, I know.
So if I am ever forced to choose, I think I have it all figured out.... kinda.
