I'm so sorry, Jen. I'd like to quote you on my Facebook, if you don't mind: When the public hears “Federal workers” they think a faceless suit. Not a park ranger making far less than a McDonalds employee picking up trash and rescuing lost hikers.

True. My brother was a Ranger for the Park Service for many years. At first, he was a "seasonal" meaning he moved from Park to Park. He enjoyed that, and had the opportunity to work in a variety of places. Later, he was assigned permanently to Everglades National Park. He married, had two children, his wife was a teacher. To make enough money, he went out west to fight wild fires, usually during late summer and fall. Right, Park Rangers are not paid nearly enough for what they do. Now, the staffing of all the Parks will be decreased. I am ANGRY.
