RB090 The Vanishing Mummy

  Our Ranger Bill

for late Saturday morning, 3/7/2026 is RB090
The Vanishing Mummy

 A truck in a convoy of archaeological artifacts breaks down just outside of Knotty Pine. The biggest truck is carrying a valuable mummy from Egypt. Bill and his rangers are in charge of guarding the mummy until the truck is repaired. Stumpy is leery of watching this “old pile of bandages”. Mr. Peabody, the convoy director, is not happy about leaving the valuable mummy in Knotty Pine.

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

  Our RANGER BILL for early Saturday morning, 3/7/2026, is a classic:

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

Bill doesn't have enough men for all the work around the national forest. He and his rangers have to work 18 hours a day. Bill has a solution to the problem - women volunteers in the fire towers. The rangers refuse to allow women rangers. Will the rangers work themselves to death or will they give Bill's PETTICOAT RANGERS a chance? Can female rangers do a ranger's work if they get that chance? In my opinion, this is one of the funniest Ranger Bill stories ever! You get to hear some of Stumpy's funniest and most famous lines! And you get to see a little of what life was like back in the 1950's.

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.
