Charlie's Vacation (A Charlie Gearets Adventure)

By M. O'Gannon

A bucket list trip four wheeling in Moab, Utah drags a reluctant Charles Gearets on an adventure he'll never forget. The somewhat stuffy banker meets a colorful hobo who soon has Charles involved in a bar fight. While trying to find the company that sold his wife a fake pottery piece, Charles gets entwined in an Anasazi grave robbery. During the ensuing days he has to decide whether to escape the mayhem and abandon his trip or help find the robbers. Along the way Charles meets a crew of characters, some who help him and some who are out to kill him, but you aren't sure which is which. Throw in a colorful hobo, a microbrewery, a psycho killer, a man named Gert, the worst campground host ever, a romantic interest and the plot line becomes blurred. Humor is mixed in with dramatic adventure as you ride in a jeep on back country trails, run into a cougar on a hike, learn about Anasazi pottery, deal with an overzealous police force, meet an uncharacteristic museum expert and a dog named French Fries. By the end of the adventure you will wonder about your own bucket list. Maybe that safe sounding trip to your dream destination might be crossed off and replaced by a visit to Aunt Ruth.
