Hey Ranger!: True Tales of Humor & Misadventure from America's National Parks
Focusing on the light rather than the serious side of outdoor mishaps and ranger life, this is a book which everyone from seasoned outdoorsmen to armchair travelers will find both entertaining and enlightening. In his thirty years with the National Park Service, Jim Burnett saw it all: boat ramp mishaps that launched cars instead of boats; skunks in the outhouse and other wildlife encounters; visitors looking for the bridge over the Grand Canyon; dumb crooks; and much more. For those who envy the lives of rangers who live and work in national parks, the book also provides some revealing—and humorous—insights into what that job can really entail, including accounts of an amazing variety of situations that prompt people to knock on a ranger’s door in the middle of the night.
The book concludes with some practical "ranger wisdom," illustrated with real-life examples, to help keep readers from becoming a "victim of their vacation" on their next outdoor excursion.
