Daisy Farm Ranger

Post by kolo »

Does anyone know if Ranger Emily is back at Daisy Farm this summer (2016)? I did a solo canoe trip last summer and she went above and beyond in helping me out. To show my gratitude I would like to bring her some "trail magic" on my trip there this summer. I thought about bringing her some coffee. Does anyone have any better ideas?

I would call the IR Park headquarters in Houghton (906) 482-0984. I'm sure they'd be glad to help you.

As a delayed follow-up, I ran into Emily on the Island. She is no longer the Daisy Farm ranger, but is now commissioned (she has a gun and everything :shock: ) and is the Amygdaloid Ranger. I mentioned your kind words and that she was "Internet famous" for what she did, and she seemed touched.

So, the Isle now has an Amygdaloid Ranger again; apparently they tried to also fill/hire the Malone Ranger position but were unable to get somebody. (The Amygdaloid/Malone rangers are enforcement/commissioned rangers, whereas the Daisy Farm ranger does not have that requirement.)

Good to hear they have someone back at Amygdaloid. Hopefully Malone too next year.
