Bobby Benson's B-Bar-B Riders #17

When Bobby Benson and his friend Pudge Kelly set out on a week-long Scout hiking trip, they unknowingly walk into a nightmare on the trail. On the twenty-sixth day, strange phenomena occur—the wind stops, the sun dims, and an eerie fence appears, behind which Bobby encounters a giant bearded man named Paul who claims he has been lost in a sand storm for twenty-six days. Paul, a Yore Man, reveals he has been waiting for intelligent conversation and offers to keep Bobby for a spell, but Bobby manages to escape with Pudge and return safely from their terrifying ordeal.
