The government issued me my Stinkin' Badge and anyone that knows me knows that ain't right. They occasionally take it back then realize no one else is crazy enough to replace me and give it back!
two hikers in Alaska,
1st hiker, what are we going to do if we run into a grizz.
2nd hiker, I am going to run like hell.
1st hiker, everybody knows you can't outrun a grizz.
2nd hiker, I don't need to outrun the grizz, I just need to outrun you.

Love the Film crew pic !
Hope one of them had a Dirty Harry in their pack . That big boy can run waaaaaaayyyy
faster and farther than they have a hope to. I guess the one at the end of the line found that out if they didn't.
C'mon people I know you all have at LEAST one more story or reason !
See I'm the kind of park ranger that would tell them bears just love to have their picture taken. Had a German endurance bicyclist tell me he could still go 24 hours after drinking bad water if he could get to a hospital within that time. I had him sign over his bike to me should he not make it. He spent 2 weeks in the hospital but he lived. Had an motorcyclist put his bike right on the edge of a 1800' ledge over looking the Colorado River. He saw me pull up and figured he was in trouble. I told him I'd help him make a ramp if he had the guts to try to jump it. We have pictures of a person imploding as they hit the water after diving off a cliff. I have people try all sorts of really stupid things, I've found the best thing is to tell them where the nearest doctor is how long it will take to get there and how much it costs. Darwin was right, ya just can't help stupid. Had a really good one at the top of the launch ramp today, a guy pulling a boat up with his wife in it hit the bump at the top so fast the trailer with the boat on it came unhitched and with the safety chains not connected took off back down the ramp which at this water level is about a quarter mile, I gave him the phone number of a good divorce attorney instead of a lecture.
Told you I wasn't right. Ever shoot an old vacuum tube TV? This guy's brother was filming so the diver rotated forward as he was pulling down his trunks to "moon" his brother. Hit the water flat as he couldn't rotate back up from over 75'. Last frame it just a maroon spot in the water as the body stopped and the internal organs kept going. Reminded me of what those old TV tubes looked like. I always wanted to be a park ranger, but I'm way over the age limit hence "that ain't right" back country ranger, badge but no blue dot.
My future dream is to be a Ranger but NOT enforcement, would hate that job! Interpretive is more my style.
Leading hikes and telling stories 'bout nature or geology.
Glad you made it here !
Now , most of those stories are about OTHER people that "Ain't Right" but you already have posted some elsewhere of your "Ain't Rightness"!!
We used to hoist an big old safe to about 10' and drop it on old TVs and other electronics at a friends tron repair shop , saved space in the truck to recycle ctr.

I guess being a Weirdo Overload isn't so great.
Not one Rate/Rep point yet..... I simply HAVE to catch up with Cyndi.
I am so "Ain't Right" !

"Now if you all look to your left , you will notice the Colorado nearly 5000' below us .
