CHAPTER 1
Dink, Josh, and Ruth Rose watched the small airplane rise into the late afternoon sky.They'd just arrived in Bozeman, Montana, for a week's vacation at the Western Wheat dude ranch.
As the kids waited outside the airport for their ride, the sky turned purple.The sun slipped slowly behind the mountains.
"What time is it?" Josh asked. "They said someone would pick us up at five o'clock."
Ruth Rose checked her watch. "It's twenty past," she said.
Dink shielded his eyes against the setting sun. "This might be him," he said.
A dusty station wagon pulled up and stopped.A lanky, smiling guy swung out of the driver's seat."Are you the kids from Connecticut?" he asked. Dink nodded. "Are you from Wheat Ranch?"
"You betcha, and welcome to Montana!" the man said. "Sorry I'm late. I'm Jud Wheat."
"I'm Dink, and these are my friends Josh and Ruth Rose," Dink said.
Jud was long-legged and looked about twenty years old.He wore jeans, a western shirt, and scuffed cowboy boots.
