Good short story! Makes me want to read the others in the book "Klickitat"(?sp) A guy on a planned 4 day hike to do some solo mountain climbing, finds an ancient artifact in the snow in the area where a plane crashed decades ago. Very good action scene at the end of this short tale. Good job!

Protectors is a great short story with a surprise ending that no one could see coming.
