      The Werewolves of Yellowstone

      Chapter 1

      When Catherine graduated from college, she didn't have a job or any idea what she wanted to do. Months earlier at a 'Save the Environment' lecture, she'd met Blake, a friend of a friend. They'd kept in touch and he suggested that until the aftermath of the war settled down she should visit him in Yellowstone National Park and see if she liked it. Maybe they could find work for her. She told him she had no real training or experience, but Blake said they'd give her a chance; it was hard to find people who were a kindred spirit with the wildlife.

      The day after graduation, she took a bus to Yellowstone and was awed by its beauty, the wildlife and its size. She was surprised by the magnificent wilderness and varied wildlife in such close proximity. And the geysers and colorful pools were sensational. The stink and noises of the city were left far behind and the sweet smell of the pine forests and the quiet of the natural world called to her. Within five minutes, she wanted to stay and she saw that Blake could tell.

      The supervisors divided everyone into work crews. Each crew had different areas of expertise and responsibility. Because of Blake liking her, she was put in a crew he could keep an eye on.

      She helped repair roads and trails, cleared underbrush, cleaned wherever visitors went, checked the animals, maintained the livestock, cleared brush so the scenic views were viable. Some workers said there was more to do in the off-season before the tourists arrived and after they left. Others said that in the summer they needed twice the staff to keep everything presentable.

      She settled in a little cabin with Molly, Annie, and Jenny and worked outdoors. After months of being in classrooms and libraries and summers of indoor work, being outside was invigorating and the work was interesting. They rode horses or mules or in jeeps. Everyone had his or her favorite. Cathy was given an old mule named Ellen. Ellen could be stubborn and bad tempered if Cathy was late with her feed and if it was the wrong stuff she'd put up a row, but give her an apple and she’d treat Cathy marvelously.

      Annie thought it hysterical that Cathy allowed the mule to do that, but everyone knew Annie was afraid of animals and was always given the gentlest, passive, oldest horse or mule around. Molly told her to grin and bear it. Jenny not so quietly griped that maybe she shouldn't be working in the park.

      Ellen carried Cathy past colorful pools without slipping on the wet stones, went up and down scenic valleys, picked her way along narrow ledges with spectacular overlooks; Annie announced to everyone she was closing her eyes, Jenny told Annie to shut up already before she spooked the other animals. Molly rode behind Blake gripping him as if she'd never let go. Blake smiled at Cathy as if he was proud of the way she handled herself. Once Cathy got used to Ellen, it was like riding an easy chair.

      More than once Cathy would be working; smoothing out a trail, cutting some brush, and she’d look up and see Blake watching and she’d smile and he’d quickly look away or nod and turn away. Other times she’d start to do something and not be sure, she’d glance over at Blake, and he’d nod or motion to another tool or just shake his head no. On one occasion, she tripped on the trail and he was right there to help her, to examine her ankle and take her back to camp if that was necessary. It made her feel good he was there for her that he was watching over her.

      At night, they’d sit around the campfire and talk. Many talked about how the war had been a hardship on them and their families or about a loved one that died in Germany or on some South Pacific island. Warren, another supervisor, eventually took over any fireside conversation. He would make fun of someone if they had made a mistake that day, or if nothing interesting happened, he would kid Blake. Did you know that Blake was here when the park opened? Warren would grin at Blake and the park ranger would smile tiredly. "I bet
