Grace Harlowe's Overland Riders in the Yellowstone National Park

Grace Harlowe and her lively troupe of Overland Riders step off the bustling North Coast Limited at the tiny town of Cinnabar, the gateway to Yellowstone. With their trusty ponies hitched to a sturdy four‑in‑hand coach, they trade the comforts of the Pullman car for the rugged rhythm of the West, eager to trade laughter and chatter for the great outdoors. The scene is a whirlwind of tourists, clattering luggage, and the scent of fresh pine, setting the stage for an unforgettable summer outing.

As the group unloads their animals and scours the town for food and a missing guide, personalities clash and complement each other—Grace’s quick wit, Tom’s steady calm, and Chunky’s endless appetite keep the dialogue lively. Their first task—getting the ponies fed and ready—reveals a blend of practical challenges and light‑hearted banter that promises more adventures as they venture deeper into the park’s wild frontier.
