Jim Stowell “Ranger Jim: At the Lighthouse”

These are stories of a 46 year love affair. What Jim calls his, Spoken Story Book, starts with the first time he went camping and ends with the last night he worked for the National Park Service 46 years later. The stories of a young man who knows absolutely nothing about camping or the wilderness but becomes a National Park Ranger. A young man who cannot stand being alone with himself and years later feels good all over when surrounded by miles of solitude.

His National Park stories bring you to a very different place than most stories about the National Parks: Jim’s first year as a National Park Service Ranger while living among Sequoia trees and discovering the meaning of, “Evolution in action.” Holding a man’s head as he dies of a heart attack on a boat ramp in northern Minnesota. Working and living in a lighthouse on an island in Lake Superior where he experiences the “Miracles of Wow!” A total of 16 seasons as Ranger Jim.
