Steve is my guess the local friendly park ranger that the once had advertised in the National Park Ad's making sure your campfire was properly setup and that you enjoyed your stay. He also has a awesome taste of music and I can share all of that wonderful classic 70's rock with and not put to sleep, plus Steve always seems to look on the better side of people I notice on comments and never puts people down and engages people to talk. Steve has become one of those special friends I am sure would be a real friend if I were to meet him. Thank you Steve, your pretty cool.
