That's the kind of view every job should have....Barb
This is a great post of Ranger Bob. Our Park Rangers serve an important function in preserving these special places for future generations.
I hiked through Torry Pines while in high school, and my first year in college I aspired to Fish and Game Management as my major, wishing to be like your ranger here. What a glorious day indeed!
