Kade Holley - Forest Ranger, Vol. II Dan Kincaid

Kade Holley is a Forest Ranger with the U. S. Forest Service, managing and protecting the natural resource gems of this country - the National Forests. In this second volume Kade is the focal point of a series of five multi-state adventures that will have you eagerly rushing to turn the next page. He has an encounter with an angry bull moose in northern Minnesota's Superior National Forest; he deals with a black bear that is causing concern to hikers at Brasstown Bald on the Chattahoochee National Forest; and he becomes a witness when he sees poachers illegally shoot a huge buck deer on West Virginia's Monongahela National Forest. There is a "smelly" encounter with turkey vultures in Ohio's Wayne National Forest and Kade participates on a national fire prevention team in Colorado, where he unexpectedly gets to take a "harrowing" practice ride with up and coming race car driver Scott Dixon prior to the 2002 Denver Grand Prix. Through it all, Kade never waivers in his love for his family, his love of being a Forest Ranger, and his love of the National Forests. He understands that his work is sometimes dangerous, often challenging, and always fun and interesting. "That's life as a "ranger," Kade says. This book will take you through a series of adventures that many dream about, but very few ever experience.
