FOREST RANGER GIRL

Some of the happiest memories are of times I spent in the great outdoors with my family. I remember family camping and fishing trips that were filled with lots of laughter, countless hikes on often used animal trails, playing in cool, bubbly creek waters and catching my first Rainbow Trout. (I fancied myself quite the fly fisherman after I reeled in that 4" baby!) We lived in Wyoming at the time and Ten Sleep was the perfect place for a family camping trip and memories to last a lifetime.

When it was time for dinner we ate what we caught for the day, My Dad would roll the fresh Trout in flour and cook them in oil in a well used cast iron pan over the campfire. All of us slept in a heavy, one-room canvas tent that smelled of kerosene oil all snug and cozy in our big, warm sleeping bags.  We would lay awake for hours chatting and listening to the night sounds of forest animals and the soothing song of a nearby creek.

As a young child I already knew that spending time in the forest and hiking in the mountains was going to be my calling in life. I was hooked, big time! High Aspen meadows, serene moments of fly fishing, adventuresome hikes, and fun-filled kayaking and camping trips was already well seated in my blood. I knew without a doubt that I wanted to be a Forest Ranger when I grew up.

Following my childhood dream is finally becoming a reality., I recently enrolled at one of our local colleges and I am finally pursing becoming a Forest Ranger!  As a Ranger I hope to create and provide interpretive programs to visitors. I may also lead guided tours about the Park's history or ecology, present slideshows, give talks about stewardship, lead environmental demonstrations or be a part of historical re-enactments. I may have taken the scenic route to get here at the young age of 55, but if Betty White can become a Ranger at the age of 88, so can I!
