Hey Ranger!
Jim Burnett
I picked this book up at the gift shop in the Great Smoky Mountains Nationa Park.. seemed like an appropriate place to buy a book by a retired ranger about interesting and amusing things that happen to Park Rangers.
An intersting look at silly, stupid and illegal things people do at National Parks.. It is meant to be light hearted and entertaining, which it was. It is amazing the things people will will say and do!
Much more than that, it gives you a deep apprecation for the job of park ranger.. many nights spend up working looking for lost people, helping at accidents, cleaning up enviromental spills, fighting fires, etc. etc. It is not so much a job in the sense of 9-5 but more like a lifestyle.. something you do all the time, and also involves your family.
As well as an understanding of the job and the people, Jim also gives great descriptions of the Parks themselves.. makes you want to go out and visit them!!
