In nineteen eighty-six, a park ranger named Garrett Shaw transferred to a remote canyon station in northern Arizona for a thirty-five thousand dollar salary and paid relocation. He lasted eight months. His logbook, his radio transcripts, and one cassette tape labeled DO NOT SEND TO LINDA were found hidden under the floorboards by the ranger who replaced him. The National Park Service says Garrett suffered a psychological break and wandered into the canyon barefoot in December. They never recovered a body. The logbook tells a different story, one involving barefoot tracks that change from animal to human mid-stride, a voice in the canyon that sounds exactly like his wife, and a Navajo maintenance worker who warned him to leave before it finished learning his voice.
