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

RANGER BILL to begin this weekend, for May 2, 2026 :
RB115 - Three-Legged Deer
Two hunters can't find any deer. So, they decide to shoot little Jerry White's injured pet deer, Torpedo. One of the men even punches Jerry in the face! Jerry's parents ask Ranger Bill to find the men and bring them to justice. People in town are in a rage over the hunters' actions. The hunt is on for the hunters. Will Bill be able to find the men and bring justice and order back to the town of Three Forks?
