Today we met our good friend Douglas Scott AKA @Exotichikes for lunch in Bozeman, #Montana. We know Doug from about three years ago when we hiked together at @OlympicNP He is truly a delightful guy. Plus, of course, he’s guest hosting #ParkChat next week! #tweetup

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1 Honestly, I never thought about being a #NationalPark Ranger. But I always kinda thought they were all big, burly, and bearded. Kinda like this...#ParkChat

A1) Ranger Smith and Ranger Rick were two favorites from childhood, but I guess they are not real rangers...:( Though they left a good impression, even being fictional characters. #ParkChat

replying to @publiclandlvr In fact, when I first met Mr PLL I thought he must remind visitors to put litter in trash cans and not feed the squirrels. And then I saw his gas mask! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks A1) It wasn't a Park Ranger but a Forest Ranger that was one of the occupations along with a fireman & train engineer that I wanted to be when I was a child. #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 A2) We'd probably be the interpretation ranger, we love to learn and tell stories! #ParkChat

replying to @59NationalParks @59NationalParks @Wild_Tribute I wanted to be an ornithologist because I loved birds of prey and owls. Still do. In thinking about that, I always imagined I’d work in the Everglades. #ParkChat #FindYourPark

A2 I would LOVE to be one of the #nationalpark rangers that does the rifle and canon demonstrations. I think it would be awesome to learn how these weapons worked and be able to actually fire one! #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute I came across a maintenance crew working at @VicksburgNPS. They were using a flame thrower to repair the protective wax on bronze statues and plaques. THAT looked awesome! #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 @Wild_Tribute Interpretive and educational. I’m already a teacher, I’d love to be one in the parks. #FindYourPark #ParkChat

replying to @aubreylenae16 @aubreylenae16 @Wild_Tribute I’m probably most suited for Everglades as it’s my home park. But anything dealing with the American revolution would be amazing- I wrote my MA thesis in antislavery during the Age of Enlightenment and revolution. #FindYourPark #ParkChat
