Thank you, Never knew the ranger's name.Decades ago, on my first of many trips to Yellowstone, we pulled into Mammoth in mid-September. There was a herd of elk in one of the town's grassy areas. A man of, guessing, mid-fifties, who was dressed like a tourist cartoon character, had approached a bull with his small yapping dog to take pictures from a close distance. Due to his size and shape, it is safe to say the tourist was not fleet of foot. A gentle park ranger got the man's attention. He instructed the man to retreat, get back into his car,, and explained the elk was " ... not friendly like your dog".

Thank you, Everyone!.When I was around 12 (~1974), my parents took me on a camping trip (with an old, borrowed, canvas army tent!), across the country, from a little Central New York town to Yosemite National Park, where we met up with my eldest sister and her husband. I was wowed by the beauty and Majesty of the park! I would like to thank ALL of the park ambassadors and rangers! I have also been lucky enough to visit the Everglades and Montezuma National Wildlife Refuge.
