What's the deal with them? I was at Nantasket Beach the other day, and while the state police had at least two cruisers in the area, I also saw a white pickup truck with white state plates and a shield on the door marked "DCR Ranger" or something similar.
There were two guys in it cruising a parking area, they had some type of badge emblem on their shirts and portable mics on their epaulets. The driver gave me hard looks as I was packing the car to leave, I guess 40+ guys with their wife and young children are on their watch list.
My question is.....what do they do? I can understand having rangers at a historical or wilderness area to do interpretive tours, but I don't know of any such programs at Nantasket....."Here's the beach, and over there is where Paragon Park used to be". That would be the substance of the tour.
I'm not trying to put these people down (except for the one who gave me hard looks), I just honestly don't know why they're there. This is the first year I've seen them at Nantasket.
