Anthony Hromadka is an artist, photographer, former Assistant Park Ranger, gardener, nature enthusiast and a survivor of both a triple bypass surgery and ankle amputation in the past 12 months. We talk about Rustic Canyon and the former Nazi compound that was there, stewardship, and the major surgeries that he experienced this past year, overcoming depression and getting his health back, plus the new prosthesis that will allow him to walk again.
