I met up with Ranger Riester who I met last year working a detail in <a href=\"http:\/\/prorangerphila.blogspot.com\/2016\/07\/the-lowell-folk-festival.html\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Lowell Massachusetts<\/a>. She showed me all around the park and explained to me the different law enforcement responsibilities that pertained to her specific park. After that,&nbsp;we went and explored the park! we enjoyed snorkeling, hiking, and driving through the park. This gave me a chance to see a whole lot of history and natural resources. I had a blast. In the evening we met up with a couple other rangers at the park. The following day I was given the opportunity to talk to a group of YCC students about the ProRanger Program. There were most definitely some future ProRangers in the room! Overall, my time spent with Ranger Riester provided me with a great experience in a beautiful park! <\/div>\n<p><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;     96 &lt;![endif]--> <!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;   Normal  0          false  false  false    EN-US  X-NONE  X-NONE                                                                    &lt;![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]&gt;                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                          &lt;![endif]-->  <!--[if gte mso 10]&gt;&lt;![endif]--> <!--StartFragment--> <!--EndFragment--><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-_2B1D1Jn28M\/WVWuPfLmgSI\/AAAAAAAAAJU\/fCyNIFU81sIRBEadTicFbkBVF7q8SGRmQCEwYBhgL\/s1600\/IMG_5064.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1080\" data-original-width=\"1440\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/2.bp.blogspot.com\/-_2B1D1Jn28M\/WVWuPfLmgSI\/AAAAAAAAAJU\/fCyNIFU81sIRBEadTicFbkBVF7q8SGRmQCEwYBhgL\/s320\/IMG_5064.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">Like this picture and follow Virgin Islands&nbsp;National Park on Instagram &nbsp;<a href=\"https:\/\/www.instagram.com\/p\/BV28_zBF3WJ\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">here<\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-iEE0KH6hosQ\/WVWt-9wdlsI\/AAAAAAAAAJE\/7vzn-f21I-Ioh-musFoxTIPEEsKctuHFACLcBGAs\/s1600\/IMG_5038-1.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/4.bp.blogspot.com\/-iEE0KH6hosQ\/WVWt-9wdlsI\/AAAAAAAAAJE\/7vzn-f21I-Ioh-musFoxTIPEEsKctuHFACLcBGAs\/s320\/IMG_5038-1.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">A must see view when visiting<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<p><\/p>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-aKVMUPq2xRY\/WVWt8nZyzMI\/AAAAAAAAAI8\/Jf1vp0zW_zYw_Iy_a0GUbMhKIjpsqAO1ACLcBGAs\/s1600\/IMG_5042-1.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-aKVMUPq2xRY\/WVWt8nZyzMI\/AAAAAAAAAI8\/Jf1vp0zW_zYw_Iy_a0GUbMhKIjpsqAO1ACLcBGAs\/s320\/IMG_5042-1.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">One of the many beautiful&nbsp;beaches protected by the Rangers&nbsp;<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<table align=\"center\" cellpadding=\"0\" cellspacing=\"0\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto;text-align: center\">\n<tbody>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\"><a href=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-8-wr5KC9CqI\/WVWuMJ6Gg3I\/AAAAAAAAAJQ\/PcziRzBN_EMwxYdMScWabwdRN-PM0u7ngCLcBGAs\/s1600\/IMG_5050-1.JPG\" style=\"margin-left: auto;margin-right: auto\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" border=\"0\" data-original-height=\"1200\" data-original-width=\"1600\" height=\"240\" src=\"https:\/\/1.bp.blogspot.com\/-8-wr5KC9CqI\/WVWuMJ6Gg3I\/AAAAAAAAAJQ\/PcziRzBN_EMwxYdMScWabwdRN-PM0u7ngCLcBGAs\/s320\/IMG_5050-1.JPG\" width=\"320\" \/><\/a><\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<tr>\n<td style=\"text-align: center\">You can see the BVI and St. Thomas from many spots within the Park<\/td>\n<\/tr>\n<\/tbody>\n<\/table>\n<div style=\"clear: both;text-align: center\"><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>A Visit to Virgin Islands National Park&nbsp; Days Off&nbsp; Hey there!
