Today, I had just finished putting down my last marker for a half marathon in a state park when a Park Ranger drove up next to me and stopped. He asked if I had a permit which I did not. He asked for ID and I noticed him on his radio speaking to someone. When asked how many such markers I had put down I, of course, gave him an honest answer. He did not issue a ticket but did order me to “cease and desist.” He indicated that I would be hearing from someone and that the matter was not over. He was a U.S. Government Park Ranger and although polite he was clearly not ready to just let this go. I don’t know what, if anything, is next.
