geocruiser Posted September 12, 2014 Author #76 Share Posted September 12, 2014 Two things. The first one is I would like to thank Host Walt for letting us have this OT thread on the HAL board. Second. Does any know if the rangers have their Bios on the parks web site. I would just like to know abut their back ground and what lead them to Alaska.

CowPrincess Posted September 12, 2014 #77 Share Posted September 12, 2014 (edited) Ranger Roy was just on Disqus ..... go into the basement a ways, he discusses his education and past work a bit. Here is a bit of a bio from Ranger Mike http://blog.explore.org/behind-the-cams-ranger-michael-fitz-at-the-katmai-national-park-bear-cam/ I'm pretty sure I've seen similar on Ranger Roy. Will look :D Here's a link to some info on an award Ranger Roy got last year for his work with Explore and the cams http://www.nps.gov/katm/parknews/roy-wood-is-the-2013-alaska-region-freeman-tilden-award-recipient.htm There is a bit about Ranger Roy here.

The others are by photographers with Brooks Lodge, right there at Katmai. Their photos are posted to Brooks Lodge's Facebook and they ask that we share them with the world:) Check out the other 3 web cams there for totally different views and perspectives such as the Underwater Cam aka River Watch, The peacefulness of Dumpling Mountain and the Lower River:) Joanie Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
