Four

by Phil Walker

“Everyone has defining moments in life where everything changes. When the sky color distorts, the air smells different, our friends' voices turn ultra clear and our view of the world is indescribably transformed. Ultimately this story captures one of those personal moments, and how suddenly I realized we might not make it home.” –Phil Walker Four friends, connected by the bonds of youth and the search of adventure, head off on what initially seems like a weekend of companionship and fun riding motorcycles in the Appalachian Mountains. The mountains, and the suddenly unpredictable weather drive a cascade of missteps and the four friends suddenly find themselves perilously caught in a freak snowstorm, lost and freezing. This true story chronicles the friends' years of adventures leading up to the fateful trip and the long night spent trying to get off the mountain. It is a story of close friendship, youthful adventure and the chilling moment when a casual trip turns deadly.
