The boys help out at a wilderness camp near Sequoia National Park, a day's drive south of the Sierras.

When Jake and Taylor's team counselor is badly hurt in a flash flood, they must galvanize the lost campers to find shelter, aid the injured counselor, and supplement their low supplies with what can be found around them. 
 
 
 
At first, stumbling across a ghost town seems like a lucky break from the scorching heat of summer, but the town is already occupied by counterfeiters who are none too pleased about their operation being discovered. The boys must use all their resourcefulness and knowledge of the outdoors to protect their teammates from the criminals and the elements.

    This book is meant to raise the individual consciousness to uplift human society, for a happy and spiritually engaged life. Simultaneously, I wanted to share the findings of ancient Vedic wisdom as a philosophical guide to modern seekers of truth. Hereby, I'm presenting acintya bheda-abheda tattva, the philosophical truth (tattva) of simultaneous oneness (bheda) and variety (abheda), which is inconceivable (acintya). 
Therefore, I'm praying to please my spiritual teachers with the aim to reach the seekers, yogis, spiritualists, curious and you personally, to discuss findings from ten years of searching the world for this truth.
