As many have either read online or have seen on the news, a park ranger was needlessly killed in Mt. Rainier National Park. Margaret Anderson was just doing her job, when she encountered that psycho. I realize that many people are killed in the line of duty, but this hit home.
This past summer, I was very fortunate to spend 11 days at this amazing National Park. Every Park Ranger I encountered was so super nice, even when my buddy Paul and I were in the wild flower area that was "closed". A woman in her mid to late 20s approached us and was so nice. We had a great talk for about 30 minutes, and she gave us some great tips on where the best locations were. Mt. Rainier is spread out, and since conditions change daily (especially with the late wildflower season), real time info is priceless, especially when you don't get cell phone service in many places within Mt. Rainier NP.
In closing, I am dedicating this image to Margaret. I don't think I ever met her, but that doesn't matter. My prayers are with her family and the people who knew her.
