Hours passed. A real storm
began blowing up. The temper-
ature dropped, and the wind
'blew clouds of snow through
the camp.
It was past midnight Tuesday
before Miller's son, half-frozen
and with his wrist chained to
a horse, emerged from the
howling storm into the firelight.
The storm had caught the
packing party in the heart of a
wilderness area. They had loc-

the truck which returned to the
camp down the road. There the
Miller party spent another un-
pleasant, virtually sleepless
night, but at least they had the
consolation of a canvas tent and
a glowing pot-bellied stove.
It was now Thursday morn-
ing. The Millers had gone three
nights without sleep and the
rest of the party too.
At the foot of the mountain
the p~cker's wife had become
worried over her husband's ab-
sence in blizzard conditions. She
notified the sheriff.
It was Friday morning, how-
ever. before a road crew could
gel started up the mountain. Af-
ter their fourth night in the
wilderness the Millers were
somewbat overjoyed to see the
snowplow breaking trail to their
camp midway through Friday.
