Ranger Danger!

Notes From Rangerrob

2009 Season is here in the Northwest.

Well, we are looking forward to a great year of fishing and crabbing in the Olympic Peninsula region.
 May is here and now its time to get the Halibut gear out.  We will be working the Sequim area.
  After that, July calls out our name for some crabbing.

  Then it will be time to hit the salmon runs as the State allows.  We plan on working Sequim, Sekiu and Neah Bay.

  I look forward to meeting you up there.  Look for our Red Custom Weld Boat.  We are the ones with the big smile.

Ranger Rob Sighting:

By The Sagebrush News Press

For months now, it has been a mystery to “The Sagebrush News” who Ranger Rob really is, and what does he look like? Our reporters are continuously searching for him, trying to capture an image of him.

Legend has it, he is a little bit country and a little bit rock-n-roll. He enjoys the outdoors yet can be a sophisticated person. This mysterious person is driven to help mankind, yet stays in the shadows. He never sleeps; always looking for ways to help others.

It has been told to us by a reliable source that he is almost seven foot tall and carries a “Donny and Marie” Transistor Radio. Always known for his black cowboy hat, he never goes outdoors without it. Some say he drives a Pinto, and others claim he drives a forest green 1969 Toyota Pickup.

Some say he can talk to animals and understands their feelings. Others say he can make fish jump out of the water, by just singing. One person said he once made time stop, just to allow a critter to cross Highway 97.

We do know Ranger Rob loves to write. Rumor has it he is writing a book called, “Ranger Rob and the Chamber of Secrets”; based on some bad outhouse experiences.

Just the other day, our photographer thinks he finally caught Ranger Rob on film. He jumped to the scene with his disposable camera and captured him in the crowd. It was an enjoyable moment for our staff

Raising Strong Family By Fishing

I am Rangerrob,

  I have always enjoyed the outdoors since I was a kid.  My Father made hunting and fishing an everyday part of my life.  He was a Boeing Executive, but using the outdoors as your stress relief made him a great Dad.

  Well, I grew up and had my own family of a great wife, daughter and son, and I started taking them fishing from day one.  It is amazing what you can do with a kid on your back.

  I took those kids everywhere with us.  It did not stop me from my favorite hobbies or outdoor escapes.  It only enhanced them.

  It really bothers me to see parents leaving their kids at home to do their activities.  Time and time again I see folks treating their kid like they were a burden. Then years later, they wonder why they are having relationship problems with their kids.  Take them fishing, biking, hiking, shopping, driving, swimming or what ever you do.  Put them on your back, install a special seat, dress them real warm, buy the best safety equipment and start being a family.

  You will enjoy your activities so much better when you see it through your kids eyes.  They will enhance the trips with their questions and playfulness.  If your friends done like your kids with you, then tell them to bring their too.  If that does not work, then they are poor friends.

  My kids are now in their 20’s, and they still love doing activities with their folks.  I have devoted a outdoor web site to them (www.rangerrob.com ) and created special search sites line www.rangersearch.com , www.huntingonlinefind.com, www.campingonlinefind.com  and www.fishingonlinefind.com to make finding outdoor activities easy to find for your family.

  Please, stop looking at your kids as something to keep you from your favorite activities.  Take them along, modify what you normally do to include kids and start being a family everyday.

I Wonder

I was sitting on the fence the other day, thinking about important things. Wish I could remember what they were. But I did get to wondering about a few things. Throughout the years, people seem to have created some new looks, and ideas in their everyday lives, which were not really anything we could dream up in our generation. So I have a few questions that I am curious about. Here is my list:

• Do them folks with all them piercing and chains in their ears, tongue and belly buttons get worried about our lighting storms when their outside?
• Do them gothic looking folks have problems with makeup when it rains?
• Do kids with their pants down to their knees every try out for Track?
• Has anyone ever thought to make a blinking belly button piercing for joggers to wear, for safety?
• If kids really want a fast car, why don’t they get a GTO?
• Why would anyone put a lift kit on a mini 4x4 truck, when for the same amount of money they could buy a real Ford F350?
• Do avid hunters put deer fences in there yards?
• Can a rap singer, sing out of key?
• Why do so many folks drive like the world is ending, passing and speeding like there is a tornado behind them, only to meet back up with them at the first light or stop sign?
• Why is the “Blue Collar Comedy Show” only a half hour?
• And this one is personal. How come you can find every old rerun show on TV except Daniel Boone?

I know, just like you, I loose sleep over this stuff. The next time I see you sitting on a fence, I bet your trying to figure this stuff out too.

I happened through the town of Terribonne, Oregon on my way home from a nice vacation in Arizona. I had to stop for fuel so I went to the local bank and asked for a loan. The loan officer said she couldn’t write me a loan for that amount without collateral and asked if I had any. I told her that I had given most of the motorhome away at previous stops for gas but if she was willing to wait, I could remove the air conditioners from the top and maybe that would work. She asked for additional so I also included the fridge, It didn’t make any difference as I couldn’t afford to fill it with beer anyway having spent all my money trying to buy an oil company in the form of gas. I surmised I would make better mileage with all that stuff removed and the furniture gone any how. The wife and I didn’t mind too much sitting on buckets but we had to use pillows.  I don’t understand the term “ Reasonable profit” I guess.

I then coasted the motorhome to the filling “rip-off” station and gave the clerk what amounted to about twice the amount of any paycheck I had ever received even before taxes. He just smiled!!!!!  I then inserted the nozzle and squeezed the trigger just enough to see the gallon units moving letting me know something was happening but being afraid to open it up any more lest the dollar wheels would start spinning so fast the numbers would fly off. They would then probably charge me more. Or the shafts and bearings on the dollar wheels would heat up and give off a spark and blow us all to Kingdom come.  Then they would probably want me to pay for the cotton picking station.

Well, While I had time to kill waiting for the gas to drizzle into the tank, I checked the oil, cleaned the windshield, mirrors, lights, taillight lenses, wheel covers, and the front and back bumpers. Still having put in about 1/16^th the amount of gas, I decided to go inside the station and see what I could do to kill about another hour or so.

I spied a copy of The Sagebrush News and started to peruse it. The article written by “Ranger Rob” grabbed my attention because of the diet thing and my need for one. I chuckled at his plight and never gave it any more thought.

After the tank was finally filled with fuel and we were once again under way, my wife said she would like a little bite to eat. I informed her it would have to be a very small bite because the oil company had taken the biggest bite.

She said she’d heard about the Smith Rock store and the Huckleberry Ice cream. Sounded good to me so away we went. As we were eating our delicious ice cream cones, I notice a gentleman next to us on the bench outside the store with what appeared to be a box of donuts, a cup of double chocolate latte, and a triple stacked Huckleberry ice cream cone. Evidently he was driving a moped or some such thing to be able to afford that many goodies. We struck up a conversation, as I needed directions to find the shortest way out of the state and to my place of residence so I could stop the financial bleeding. I introduced myself and asked his moniker, to which he answered “Ranger Rob”.

I busted out laughing and asked if he was the only “Ranger Rob” around to which he replied “I think so, why do you ask?” I informed him that I had just read an article in The Sagebrush News about “Ranger Rob” going on the Atkin’s diet. He gave me a lecture about me minding my own business, about diets or lack thereof, and an idea on how I should get out of town while the going was still good. As you can see I took his advice before it did really freeze over.

I made it home with the tires still on but that is about all. If at some distant time I can save up enough money for some more travel, I would like to return to that little town and spend some time there as it seemed like a very nice place, only if I can find out the demise or whereabouts of “Ranger Rob”.

Yours respectfully

Cactus Jack.

The Ranger

We visited John Day, Mitchell, Pendleton, Sumpter, Granite, Baker City and many other small towns along the way.  Below are a few pictures of the scenery and rivers we stopped at.
