As a resident of Yosemite, I am fortunate to meet extraordinary people who also have a deep connection with this place. This ongoing series is meant to spotlight remarkable people who’ve had a positive impact on my life in this glorious park.

Twitter has introduced me to all sorts of folks here in Yosemite. One such person is Jeffrey Trust, a ranger here in Yosemite who usually is up late at night, chasing bears out of Housekeeping Camp. For a brief time this year, though, he was the stand-in supervisor for the Interpretive program, and I had a chance to meet up with him when another Twitter friend showed up to visit for a day.

Jeffrey writes a fascinating blog, but updates it far too seldom. He’s also addicted to chocolate.
