CEDAR CITY, UT Local resident, Mrs. LaFern Cunningham, expressed her outrage that a brand new park ranger, who had worked in the fee collection booth at Zion National Park for all of one week, failed to recognize Cunningham on sight as she drove up to the entrance station, instead shamelessly asking Cunningham to show her driver’s license with her senior pass.
“Oh my heck! Where is the park service getting these people? I’ve been coming here twice a year for the last 45 years, not to mention the fact that my husband worked with the contractor that installed the new phone system 10 years ago”, said Cunningham.
When questioned about her effrontery, park ranger and government tool Lily Townsend simply stated that it was a requirement to show proof of identification when presenting an official park pass.
“I mean, it’s written right there on the back of the flippin’ pass. It’s kind of hard to miss. I just requested to see her driver’s license and you’d think I asked her to cut off her right arm. She said she didn’t have it with her since she didn’t think she’d need it. She was driving without her license. Turns out it wasn’t even her pass.”
Cunningham later admitted that the pass belonged to her late husband, Arlando. She was last seen being pulled over by law enforcement for exceeding the posted limit and had been previously cited for feeding squirrels in the park on several occasions.
