“Whoa, hold on, it’s going to get rough,” Steve said as he maneuvered his truck.

Kelly stared out the window at the deep ruts carved into the long road leading to Martha Schuster’s ranch. “These aren’t ruts, they’re canyons,” she observed as they bounced along, her head barely missing the truck ceiling.

“Is this the scenic part?” Jennifer asked, bracing herself against the dashboard and the door.

“You may want to put some gravel on this road before winter,” Steve suggested, steering around a crevice.

“Is that expensive?” Kelly asked. She hadn’t even seen the ranch yet, and she was already spending money.

“Well, it’s a long road, so it won’t be cheap. But I’ll give you names of the contractors I use, so they’ll give you a fair price.”

“Are we there yet?” Jennifer asked in a plaintive voice as she braced herself against the ceiling. “I need three hands.”

“Almost there,” Steve announced. “See, there’s the house and the barn coming into view now.”

Kelly spotted the two-story, white frame house up ahead. It was bigger than she’d envisioned. The road curved, and she spied a huge red barn. Then a garage. Was that a triple car garage? A gray pickup, which she took to be the ranch manager’s, was parked in front. Fences were everywhere.

From the paved county road all the way up the dirt road leading to the ranch, Kelly saw fences. They seemed to stretch for a mile before they reached the ranch house.

“Whoa, that’s a good-sized house, Kelly,” Jennifer observed. “And a barn, a big barn, too.”

“It’s even bigger than it looks,” Steve added. “Wait’ll you get up close.”

Oh, great, Kelly thought. The ranch kept getting bigger and bigger, and she felt smaller and smaller.

“Triple car garage, nice,” Jennifer continued, pointing. “And look, there’s another outbuilding. Looks like storage.”

“Or an office,” Steve said, as they drove into the barnyard area.
