Program Meeting on January 20 at 6 pm
The Ranger Chronicles Deb Liggett
Deb Liggett spent 25 years with the National Park Service, in positions ranging from entry-level ranger to park supervisor, from the Florida Everglades to the Alaska outback. After retiring, she published a book about her experiences: 'Pilgrim, Paddler, Poet: The Ranger Chronicles'. Part first-person memoir, part celebration of the natural world, part insider journalism, it's a must-read for hikers, campers, armchair travelers, lovers of the nation's parklands. In her talk, Liggett will guide us through landscapes of stark canyons, austere deserts, thundering rivers, tropical waters, and vast tundra. Encounters with bears, alligators, skunks, wolves, and condors pepper her stories, and Liggett confesses a few ranger tales, from park service lore to pants-on-fire yarns. Copies of her book will be available for purchase and signature at the meeting.
