Another good read

NewMexiKen failed to mention a good book I read while visiting in the San Francisco area last month. It’s The Last Season by Eric Blehm.

Blehm tells the story of Randy Morgenson, a seasonal back country National Park Service ranger in California’s King’s Canyon National Park. During the summer of 1996 Morgenson went missing from his station high in the Sierra Nevada. The book tells of the search — and its eventual outcome — but also Morgenson’s life, family, devotion to the wilderness, life as a seasonal ranger and much more. Morgenson was a special, if not completely likable man. It’s an interesting story.
