This episode features a visit with John Tillison, also known as Park Ranger John.
John grew up in a military family, and moving to Washington state as a kid, he quickly fell in love with the state. He describes himself as the kid that was always outdoors. John spent time in Boy Scouts, achieving Eagle (and yes, our producer Todd agrees that Citizenship in the Community merit badge was a pain). The monthly camping trips with the Scouts introduced him to the many parks and wilderness areas of the state.
First day at work for the Washington State Parks? 101 degrees cleaning up garbage after a raccoon attack.
Here's what I cover with John Tillison in this episode:
1. Exploring the Secret World of Park Rangers: A Day in the Life
2. Uncovering the History Behind National Parks and Affiliated Sites
3. Surviving Rattlesnake Bites and Other Outdoor Dangers
John has a wonderful website with tons of information about parks and special sites around Washington. Check it out at https://www.parkrangerjohn.com.
