RB211/212 Muscle and Prayer parts 1/2

   Ranger Bill for Thursday and Friday afternoons (5/7/26 and 5/8/26) is

RB211 Muscle and Prayer (part 1)

Frenchy DeSalle fears no one and nothing. But the huge, strapping French Canadian logging foreman, has gone out of his mind with fear. Frenchy and his loggers find a cougar and a bear, both crushed to death. Frenchy knows these are the calling cards of the one man he fears, "The Bear." Who is this Bear? Why does Frenchy fear this man so? And what has happened to Frenchy's faith? Frenchy's boss calls for the one man who may be able to help Frenchy - Chief Ranger Bill Jefferson.

RB212 Muscle and Prayer (part 2)

Frenchy DeSalle and Boris the Bear want to fight to the bitter end, so Bill jails both of them until they cool off. Boris finally cools down and agrees to leave town, and Frenchy returns to work. But both men still harbor much pain and anger. Frenchy prays for an end to their feud while Boris depends on whiskey for strength. How will the Lord answer Frenchy’s prayer?

RB210 One Million Years Ago

  RANGER BILL for Wednesday, 5/6/2026, should leave you guessing and scratching your head:

RB210 One Million Years Ago

Huge LIVE dinosaurs are being seen in the Badlands at night and are scaring folks out of the Badlands. Conrad Vlandingum and his assistant Morgan are digging up dinosaur bones in the Badlands, but Bill doubts that they are real archaeologists. Vlandingum and his assistant are the only people who aren't afraid of these dinosaur sightings. Bill intends to find out how extinct dinosaurs have suddenly come to life.

This is another "new" Ranger Bill story that hasn't been aired in recent years. Enjoy!

RB208/209 The (Haunted) Church at Bent Creek

  We begin our work week  with a 2-part RANGER BILL adventure:

RB208/209 The (Haunted) Church at Bent Creek parts 1 and 2

Much of Bent Creek is abandoned including the general store - and the church. The reason it's abandoned is because folks there believe that the Bent Creek Church is haunted. Weird things go on at night inside the church - lights go on and off, the bell rings by itself, strange noises come from the tower, and the organ plays all by itself. Young pastor Jeff and his wife Jean are even afraid to stay at the parsonage. Bill, Stumpy and Gray Wolf have no idea what to do about the strange things that go on at the church. How will the gospel ever be preached again in Bent Creek?


This is a 2-part Ranger Bill adventure. Don't miss a minute of the action and excitement!!!

Nature Corner/Storybook Room - Sea Cucumber

  Nature Corner/Storybook Room for Saturday morning 5/2/26

Cliff the sea cucumber visits with Uncle Bob Devine this morning. Cliff is an animal, not a vegetable. Many sea cucumbers are long and sausage-shaped. Others are round and look like apples.  They vary in size from 3 inches long to over a foot long. There are even a few that are only an eighth of an inch long. Over fifteen hundred kinds of sea cucumbers have been discovered.

Sea cucumbers serve a very needed function. They eat all of the plant and animal matter that settles to the ocean bottom. Bacteria eat what is left from the cucumbers' meals. That keeps the ocean bottom clean and safe from diseases. 

Now let Cliff and Uncle Bob tell you more about sea cucumbers!

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

  Our RANGER BILL for late Saturday morning, 5/2/2026, 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.
