RB108 The Wrong Valley

   RANGER BILL for Friday afternoon, 4/26/24, is one of faith in the midst of pain and suffering

RB108 The Wrong Valley

Jacq McIntosh is Knotty Pine's blacksmith and one very powerful man. He is usually quite happy and full of joy. He likes to sing worship songs as he works. Trouble visits the McIntosh home suddenly one day with terrible force. His wife Annie is blinded in an explosion, and his son Ernie is badly injured in an auto accident. Jacq is angry with God and feels like Job. Can anything more go wrong for Jacq? Will anger and despair keep Josh in the terrible valley of depression? Can Bill do anything to bring Jacq out of that wrong valley?

RB107 Petticoat Rangers

 Our RANGER BILL for a Thursday, 4/25/24, 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.

RB106 Terror on the Finger River

  RANGER BILL for Wednesday, 4/24/24, is one scary mystery:

RB106 Terror on the Finger River

The Finger River flows out of the Rockies and into the Pacific. Much of the river is a mix of salt and fresh water. That mix makes hunting and fishing along the river excellent. Suddenly, fishing lines are being robbed and hunters are losing their kills to something in the river. The thief appears to be a baracuda, a killer with two rows of razor-sharp teeth and fins. Bill must find this thief and stop it - whatever it is. Can Bill locate our thief, or will terror continue on the Finger River?

  RANGER BILL for early Saturday morning,

Two men, Mr. Delong and the Carabou, cut down trees in the mountains outside Knotty Pine. Delong says he is a lumberman, but Bill found out he is an antique book seller. Delong has the Carabou cutting down more than a hundred trees.

Our rangers learn that Delong is looking for a treasure hidden in a tree. The treasure may be something left behind by the Donner Party on their ill-fated journey west in 1847.
