ep172 The Road Ghost

Ranger Bill, warrior of the woodland, struggling against extreme odds, traveling dangerous trails, fighting the many enemies of nature. This is the job of the guardian of the forest, Ranger Bill. Pouring rain, freezing cold, blistering heat, snow, floods, bears, rattlesnakes, mountain lions.

Yes, all this in exchange for the satisfaction and pride of a job well done. Say, have you ever heard of animal ghosts? Gus McDougall, the owner of a large bus line, has problems with ghosts, and Bill and his Rangers are directly involved.

In fact, the ghost almost put Gus out of business, and Bill is hard put to solve the problem of ghosts appearing along forest edges at night. What would you do if a man told you that you had to stop his men from seeing ghosts?

That's quite a question, isn't it? Well, let's find out what Bill and the fellas do in the story. The road ghost. Big Sandy Thomas is pushing his cross-country bus as hard as he can and yet drives safely.

A large vehicle has a full load of 55 sleeping passengers as the bus roars through the night. The drive from Junction City to Nati Pine is the last leg of a long trail for Sandy.

of the passengers sitting directly behind the driver's seat speaks a few words now and again. Say, driver, yeah, what do you flesh your brights every time you climb a hill? I do that to alert a driver coming up the other side that I'm here, not to pass on the way up.

Say, that's smart safety. It'd be good for anybody driving in a hilly country. You're out of several accidents. Of course, you're not supposed to pass on a hill, but there's always a wise guy on every road.
