Quite true, Laughingbear. Barstow once had as many as 13 law enforcement rangers. By the time Nelson's dubious run as Chief Ranger ended, the staff was down to 5 delegated rangers, and has never really recovered. New rangers have been leaving about as fast as they are hired. With BLM Barstow now having about half the ranger staff when Nelson became Chief, to cover over a million acres, it isn't any surprise you don't see much of them up there.
