replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute A10 I would say dealing with unreasonable tourists. I've seen rangers in action and tip my hat to them. #ParkChat

replying to @Wild_Tribute @Wild_Tribute #parkchat A10 every job has its down side, no matter how fulfilling. Could be bureaucracy, such as #shutdown uncertainties. Having a kid w special needs, having medical is a huge deal and losing that would be very scary. 😥
