I always waved at every park ranger passing by in national or state parks.
They are the ones to keep us safe from those who got the bad idea of planting
those bad things. Once in a forest road I waved at 6 rangers in one vehicle
with rifles on their shoulders. I felt very comfortable in that area to see
them waving back at me and my westy.
Well, was pulled over once by one who spotted that my license plate was out of
date by one day. Did not get a ticket when I told him I had it and would put the
sticker on when I got home. I was impressed by the ranger indeed.
