Permanent Vacation: Twenty Writers on Work and Life in Our National Parks by Erin Bechtol, Kim Wyatt

ssejig's review

4.0

A collection of remembrances about working in National Parks from seasonals and lifers, green and grays and concessioners. Great stories including one by Mr. Davis about the venerable and well-remembered badass, #6. They range from hysterical (Ruth Rhodes and a naked dash across Denali) to sentimental (several about deaths).

If you've ever worked in a national park, this book's for you.

I give it a four because there were a few excellent essays in here, though some of the rest felt more gimmicky than real to me.
