There are only eight lodges in Alta and they're all on the lower side of the road--the only road leading in or out of the valley. The Alta Lodge, the Goldminer's Daughter, the Rustler, the Snow Pine--the Snow Pine was ours, cheapest of them all and at the end of the line. To get up to the road, we walked up a set of tunnel--like stairs. When you start, you can barely see the light. Below the lodges is the ski basin, rising from the basin is the ski area and behind the road...
They blasted above the Snow Pine and the wooden walls shook again. But, up there at the end of the line, we were the lucky ones. The Rustler had lost its propane tanks and it's cold as hell in Utah in Decemberwhen there's not heat in the lodge. We were lucky to have heat but there wasn't much else to keep us happy during the four days and nights we spent underground in the Snow Pine.

But, says McLean, 37, "it's not just a blown-up photo. I try to get a more heightened...
Besides the professional, gang-style rustlers, amateur poachers pose a problem. They lasso and shoot or knife one or two steers at a time and often butcher them on the spot. Some of the meat goes into their freezers for future backyard barbecues. The rest is bootlegged to retailers. Because this beef is uninspected and carries no "prime" or "choice" stamps, it is usually ground up and sold as hamburger. Most sheriffs lack the manpower to check the rustlers. Instead, ranchers send gun-toting cowboys on range patrols in trucks and even light planes. The Florida Cattlemen's Association...
