- Thinking that it will keep her preoccupied instead of getting in their hair, Pan suggests to both Rich and Gloria that Gloria take over the administrative duties for the ranch. She agrees if only they clear a road to Vanderhoof, this caveat much to Pan and Rich's chagrin. Her resolve for them to do so is strengthened when she sees that clearing a vehicular right-of-way to the nearest market is a condition of their grazing land lease, especially important now that the grazing commissioner's inspection visit is three weeks away. After hearing about how Pan drove from Wyoming to Tatla Lake in an old delivery truck nicknamed "the Bloater" - that trip when Pan first found this property - Gloria comes up with an alternate idea: they build a road to closer Tatla Lake instead, which would satisfy the condition of their lease. Pan is dead set against the idea of a road, period, as he fears a road will threaten their way of life by making it easier for others to make their way into the area. So Pan, Rich and Gloria, on horseback, head off to Tatla Lake where they find the not so abandoned Bloater, which they plan on using to demonstrate that the right-of-way they clear is drivable. Each of the three go with their own agenda and their own hidden methods of achieving that agenda. Others that they did not consider may have a say in what Pan, Rich or Gloria individually are trying to do.—Huggo
