That sure sounds like turf in my neck of the woods. I live on the Olympic Peninsula. Before I retired, I was, among my many duties, SAR Coordinator for my county and as such, I had to work with the park rangers on many occasions. I did meet a couple good guys, but your story doesn’t surprise me one bit.... they are very anal retentive and not at all very bright.
Hey, I’ve skied in the Olympics.....
And that one where they locked seniors in a building and posted guards outside was the last straw. I would have broken out of there some way and to stop me they would have to shoot me and I mean that, too. And, I think if you were there with me, you would join me in the breakout.
Where on the Peninsula?
