I just love Larry Weill's books. They are so enjoyable to read and each one transports me to my happy place - the ADKs! If you've been to the Adirondacks, these books are a must read. As Weill said himself about ADK writers, "these talented individuals have preserved the story of our greatest natural resource". And Weill does just that. His books are best enjoyed around a campfire, outside while the birds chirp, or on a picnic blanket.

Like his previous books, Larry Weill has again written a fun humorous memoir of his time working as a park ranger in the Canada Lakes Wilderness area in New York's Adirondack Park. I highly recommend these easy to read and delightfully fun books!
