He was wheeling around in his padded, shaded golf cart. With his initial offer to take us for a spin to the other end of the lot to the visitor center, I knew he enjoyed his job. Most of my family and friends (well, probably all of them) would tell I\u2019m not the bashful type, so I immediately began to talk with \u201cRanger\u201d Alex.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAlex, are you a real Ranger?\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cNo, I just like the hat, so I wear it. Used to be in the military, but I retired. This is my Forest Gump job, and I\u2019m loving it!\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u00a0\u201cRanger\u201d Alex supplied us with much information coupled with his own sense of humor. He\u2019s the right man for the job! I think he\u2019s found his niche. The dam was completed in 1910 (started about 1905) and stands a staggering 353 feet tall, 200 feet wide and 108 feet at the base. Simply amazing sight!<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center\">***\u00a0<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>We met \u201cRanger\u201d Alex in the Buffalo Bill Dam parking lot.
