EXT. PONDEROSA PINE FOREST - DAY
Shafts of high-noon sunlight, WOODPECKER PECKING WOOD. TRICKLING CREEK. FAINT CUH-LIP CUH-CLOP of horses nearing before the six riders enter frame in single file, led by Sess, followed in order by Claire, Jackie, Hunter, Chloe and Tom at home in the saddle on the palomino caboose, reigns loose in the fingers of one hand, phone in the other, camera rolling, aimed at the procession ahead.
Chloe turns to look at him, smiles, flashes thumbs-up with shoulder shrug, Tom returns the gesture sans shrug. Chloe turns back to the train ahead, Tom turns camera to self, winks, ends recording, pockets camera, the last of the riders to leave frame.
The last SOFT CUH-LIP CUH-LOP.
WOODPECKING.
