It all began close to 40 years ago when Larry Weill was stationed as a Wilderness Park Ranger in the Adirondacks West Canada Lakes Wilderness Area. His best-selling trilogy, starting with Excuse Me, Sir... Your Socks Are On Fire, has entertained a generation of Adirondack hikers and campers with tales of the crazy life of the backcountry trail ranger. Now, Weill has published a new collection of stories from his last ten years of trekking around those very same woods. Thanks Anyway, Sir... But I'll Sleep In The Tree documents his recent walks and talks in the West Canada Lakes Wilderness, adding a final chapter to his life in the woods.
The author is an avid outdoorsman who has hiked and climbed throughout the Adirondacks and the Northeast since his days as a Wilderness Park Ranger. He has also worked as a financial planner, a technical writer, a trainer for Xerox corporation, and a career Naval officer. Weill lives in Rochester, New York, with his wife and two daughters. They vacation and hike in the Adirondacks annually.
