Ever dreamed of a career as a park ranger? Nancy Muleady-Mecham goes beyond campfire talks and nifty uniforms to show us the gritty reality of rangerdom. A few hair-raising anecdotes from her 20-plus years of rangering include performing a field amputation, saving a 17-year-old heart attack victim, and dealing with a lost man, a shooting, a burning car and a head injury in the space of a single day. Maybe being an accountant isn’t so bad.
