Along the way, he encountered a multitude of park visitors and an amazing variety of situations. Hey Ranger! recounts some of the most memorable and hilarious examples of those experiences in a book which everyone from seasoned outdoorsmen to armchair travelers will find both entertaining and enlightening. Jim and his fellow rangers were often greeted by the phrase "Hey Ranger," but the way those two little words were spoken could convey a world of different meanings. Depending upon the circumstances, they might mean "Hi, how are you doing?" "Help, come quick!" or sometimes, "Oops, I sure didn’t expect to see you here!" Frequently, the term heralded the reporting of a momentous or even bizarre event, and some of those situations are what this book is all about. Unlike many other books on recreational calamities, Hey Ranger! takes an entertaining new look at outdoor misadventures. Some of the characters in these true stories had a narrow escape, but everybody survives in the end, and the result is fun, “family friendly” reading which everyone can enjoy.
