by Rosanne S. McHenry (Author)
Rosanne S. McHenry worked as a California State Park Ranger at Folsom Lake and the Auburn State Recreation Area in the late 1980s, when the life of a patrol ranger could get extremely rough and tumble. From drug busts and drunken brawls to teen romance on display; from an attack goose to a pot-bellied pig on the loose, she regales her readers with madcap adventures.
Within the pages of this book is the madness and gladness of the profession. The stories of people and Mother Nature give the reader a fascinating peek at the world of a park ranger. Funny, intriguing, and a really good read! McHenry tells it like it is, with humor and wit, about the pains and joys of the job. The presentation of real life experiences in this book glow with the revelations and frustrations of park rangers. Protecting the people from our parks and the parks from our people is a curious challenge unique to park rangers.
Told with the greatest humor, wit and compassion, Tales From a Rogue Ranger is a truly award-winning read for anyone who loves parks and being in the outdoors.
