The ranger also routinely posted me at the front of the park, to watch out for county commissioners, while the head ranger and assistant ranger and the three teen guys on the crew played cribbage for hours in the park shop. A whole lot of wasted taxpayer dollars there. I did learn to play cribbage, by watching. These were sexist rednecks, who refused to let a girl play, fearful she might beat them. I have many other examples.
