After brewing a strong cup of Joe's finest, Ruby sat on the wooden steps of the cabin sipping it slowly, her eyes lingering on the calm waters of Big Stone Lake. The Lake was a gem, known for its crystal-clear depths and the majestic Big Stone, a massive boulder that jutted out above it. It was a favourite spot for bathers who dared to jump into the refreshing waters below.
As the sun rose higher, Ruby began her preparations for the day. She checked her equipment, strapped her side arm to her belt, and grabbed her day bag from the cabin. Her role as a Huntsville Park Ranger was one she took seriously, a steward of nature and a guide for those who came to explore the beauty of Big Stone.
Today was special. A school trip was scheduled, and Ruby was looking forward to educating the children about the local flora and fauna. She always enjoyed seeing the wonder in their eyes as they discovered the magic of the great outdoors.
With a final sip of her coffee, Ruby stood up and admired the view one more time. Now she was ready to start her day. She felt a deep connection to this land, a responsibility to protect and preserve it. Little did she know, as she locked the cabin door and headed towards the jeep, that the tranquility of Big Stone was soon to be shattered, turning her world and her duties as a park ranger upside down ....
