RB147 The Monster of White Lake

 Our RANGER BILL for Saturday afternoon, 11/14/2026, 

has our rangers scratching their heads in amazement, confusion, and fear:

 RB147 The Monster of White Lake

Boaters and fishermen are being attacked on White Lake and White River. The monster rises out of the waters, attacks an unsuspecting fisherman, and then disappears back into the depths of the lake. Folks are terribly frightened. Ranger Bill gets called in to identify and hopefully capture the beast.

Nature Corner/Storybook Room - Flounder

  Nature Corner/Storybook Room for Saturday morning, November 14, 2026

Florence Flounder swims in to chat with Uncle Bob Devine. Flounder are part of a large grouping of fish called flatfish. There are about 240 species of flounder and other flatfish. Most flounder are found across Europe and North America. Flounder are bottom dwellers, camouflaging themselves to look like the rocky or sandy bottoms of the rivers and oceans where they live. The camo helps them hunt for food and also hides them from their predators.

Let's see what Florence can tell us about life as a flounder:

  Our RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, 11/14/26:

RB166 The New Recruit aka The Fully Prepared Ranger

Ralph leaves Knotty Pine for a well-deserved promotion. His replacement, Floyd, is very careful but probably about the wrong things. He tries to be prepared for anything - except death.

RB167 Next in Line

   RANGER BILL for early Saturday morning, 11/14/2026, is:

RB167 – Next in Line

 – Ralph is hurt and angry when he is passed over for promotion. The rest of Bill’s rangers don’t like the situation either. To top things off, the newly promoted boss ranger, Gill Zodkin, is sent to Knotty Pine for training. Will Ralph quit? Will the new boss ranger survive?


Note: This show was produced in 1955 and is either a first or second season show. Listen to the differences in both Stumpy's and Gray Wolf's voices in this show compared to the last few week's shows which were made 5 or 6 years after this one. Both Stumpy and Gray Wolf speak slower and have raspier voices here compared to those later episodes.

RB132 Avalanche Rescue

RANGER BILL for Wednesday evening, 11/11/2026, will leave you shivering:

RB132 Avalanche Rescue

Bill and Henry are busy knocking down avalanches on the Big Six Mountains. Novice skier Jenny Bender aims to tackle those steep hills regardless of the risk. Bill closes the Big Six to any skiers until he and Henry clear all the dangerous drifts. Jenny sneaks out to go skiing before Bill opens the slopes. A huge avalanche threatens the ski lodge and the headstrong young lady.
