Back in the City: Journals of a Park Superintendent

The following is a true story of the adventures and experiences of a professional naturalist and park superintendent. The journal entries published here constitute part three of a trilogy as follows:

[Book 1] "In Devils Den: Journals of a Park Interpreter 1988-1994"

[Book 2] "An Idaho Calling: Journals of a Park Ranger 1994-1997"

[Book 3] "Back in the City: Journals of a Park Superintendent 1997-2024"

Readers of this third book now join the author as he departs the Upper Columbia River Basin, the Snake River Plain, and the Basin and Range to travel across the Great Plains to the northern border of the Ozarks (Interior Highlands - Springfield Plateau) and St. Francois Mountains that thrust the Missouri River northward). [Book 3] primarily focuses on Katy Trail State Park and City of Rocks National Reserve.
