## Transcript

Into the dropbox nearly ready for that flight back into the mountains. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] The drop crates are loaded into the airplane. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] Parachutes are attached to cargo lines and the boxes are stacked in rows along the waist of the plane. Ten boxes to a load, 20 beaver ready for the flight to Mountain Meadow. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] The plane makes a careful approach, ready for the drop. Now into the air, and down they swing! Down to the ground, near a stream or a lake. [ BLANK_AUDIO ] The box opens, and the most unusual and novel trip ends for mister beaver. [ SOUND ] [ BLANK_AUDIO ] He's on his way now.

His nose and his instinct tell him where to find the water. There's room here for a new home.
