The river is rising and getting swifter. They can't escape and no one can get to them. Can Bill and Stumpy save the boys before they drown?


RB128 Danger! Deer Crossing

  RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, 8/31/24, is:

Danger! Deer Crossing - RB128

Bill, Stumpy, and Gray Wolf are part of a huge team of soldiers, law enforcement officers and rangers. Their job - keep anything, man or animal, out of the blast zone of an atomic bomb test. Despite their best efforts, a family of deer (and two spies) manage to slip into the test. The deer are exposed to the blast and must be found! But will they and those spies be able to elude capture? Gray Wolf may hold the key to a safe and successful end to this test.

RB203 A Miss Is as Good as a Mile

  RANGER BILL for this Thursday was probably one of the early episodes from the first season (1954) or possibly right after Pendleton Valley Fire (1950):

RB203 A Miss Is as Good as a Mile

Bill and the fellas are out patrolling the forest in their ranger snow car (with skies and a propeller). While our rangers are in the forest, Knotty Pine is being invaded – by the US Army! Yes it’s time for the army to hone its skills with some war games. The colonel in charge tries to let Bill know about the war games but Bill can’t be reached. Will 20 miles from Knotty Pine is far enough away to avoid problems? My guess is a big fat “NO.”

Note: This episode was one that was lost or damaged in storage and recently found or repaired. It is now part of the Ranger Bill audio files.
