Those of us who visit parks and camp have noticed the change in park rangers in the last 20 years. Used to be the ranger was a big healthy man who would roll up and demand order and quiet at night. Then we started getting the urban student types and the pear-shaped ladies who wanted only to give lectures on environment and sustainability. Bureaucrats in uniform.
And no, this was not after a friendly warning or snide remark from us. This was our first encounter with "Obama's Forestry Service" in Coconino National Forest.
