Scott Fogelbach and Mat Georgen depart from Saint Peters, Missouri and begin their journey to Pekin, Illinois. One hundred and eighty-three miles of arctic wind press against them as they lean into nature's forces, determined to succeed at all costs.
1353
The first leg of the quest comes to an end. They arrive in Pekin and begin to question the townspeople about the elusive Busch Ice. A small merchant claims to have what these men seek. He presents the men with a single thirty pack of cans. "Do you have any more?", Scott inquires. "How much do you need?" questions the merchant. With a brief sigh and a serious stare, Scott replies, "All of it."

Having been told by the small merchant that he could not satisfy the order that they sought out, the men head to the Pekin Ice Caverns, an underground geological wonder that is said to house the source of Busch Ice, Old Douglas, the ice dragon. Upon entering the cave, they are met with violence when three of the ice dragon's minions attempt to kill them.

The minions (Al Sharpton, Jesse Jackson, and Anna Nicole Smith) attack them with brute force. One by one, the minions are slain and shortly thereafter, the treasure is found. Twenty-six thirty packs and twenty-eight twenty-four ounce cans. It is time to return home.

With the Busch Ice in their possession, the men celebrate briefly at the edge of town and then go on their way.
1627
One hundred and twenty miles outside of Pekin, the men find themselves faced by an overwhelming obstacle. They had walked right into the town of New Douglas, named for the brother dragon of Old Douglas. The news of the Busch Ice acquisition having spread through town already, New Douglas had been anticipating the arrival of the men who had robbed his brother. A showdown ensues and New Douglas is easily killed.
1800
Busch Ice is brought into the city limits of Saint Peters, Missouri and the town welcomes the two warriors with open arms and much gratitude. This is a day that will live on forever in history. February the eighth will now be known simply as "Ice Intensity".
