El Morro's Newest Ranger

Being a ranger requires many skills and unique qualities…

For one, you have to be able to pull off the whole ranger outfit.  Personally, I think my husband looks pretty darn good in his uniform and big brimmed hat.

Being a ranger requires bravery and the ability to look at your surroundings and think… “Hey, that big rock looks pretty amazing.  I appreciate it.” 
 

And perhaps most importantly is a ranger’s skill of being able to identify the local animal and plant life.  They have a keen awareness of what lies around them and being able to take a moment out of their day to stop and smell the cactus. 
 
 
 
 
 
Well, we finally got pictures up of Jesse in his new ranger uniform and if you are lucky come May you can check out new pictures of me sporting the ranger look.  Jesse and I both got offered jobs and happily accepted positions in Rocky Mountain National Park this summer.  Jesse thinks I will look cute in my uniform…I am pretty sure I am going to look ridiculous in the over-sized hat and hiked up pants… but time will tell.
