	*Rufus Ingram leading a group of rustlers raiding cattle and interrupting wood hauling. Wood and beef are important to Bodie. Concerned citizens might hire the PCs the deal with Ingrahm.

	*There is a Portuguese merchant who takes a wagon train from Sonora,Ca to Bridgeport and then in to Bodie in the 1880s. He hung a sign on the narrow natural Sonora Pass that read "Que de Porka" PCs could escort or be part of the wagon train in 1880 when the sign was hung. The sign remained till the 1940s. Steep, difficult, the game would center on the hardships of the trip, not necessarily bandits. Might be a good way for PCs to originally arrive in town.
