About the author
Rick Just
26 books17 followersI am a native Idahoan who grew up on a ranch along the Blackfoot River. I am a former Marine, a whitewater kayaker, a sculptor, a sports car buff and the alpha male of my mutt pack.
As a student, I served as editor of Boise State University's nationally acclaimed literary magazine, cold-drill. My undergraduate degree from BSU is in English/Communication. I also have a Masters of Public Administration from Boise State.
During Idaho's Centennial, I wrote and produced the official Centennial radio series, "Idaho Snapshots," which aired daily on stations statewide. The program won the Governor's Take Pride in Idaho award and was honored in the national Take Pride in America program. My book of the same name contains about half the programs from the radio series.
My young adult books, Wizard Chase , Wizard Girl and Wizards' End are one, two and three of the Wizards Trilogy. My adult novel Keeping Private Idaho takes a wry look at the xenophobia that occasionally pops up in the Gem State. I was the editor of "100 Years, Idaho and its Parks" the centennial history of Idaho's state parks system.
I am the past president of the Presto Preservation Association and the Society of Outdoor Recreation Professionals. I have served on the boards of the Learning Lab and ANSER Charter School and am a member of the Idaho Writers Guild.

This book is a limited edition, only 750 were printed to give out to retired park system employees (and nosy historians). It is the only source of its type for the Idaho park system and it is a really great source. I appreciate that they provide a description and history snippet for each individual park. The pieces written by former park employees and visitors are invaluable. Great stuff.
