Chavez and his family as they travel the length and breadth of California from the ghost town of Bodie State Historic Park to the mountains and beaches of Southern California. Each new assignment brings new adventures and challenges as Ranger Chavez promotes up the career ladder to positions on the Central Coast of California, the Sierra Nevada and finally to the redwoods of Northern California at Humboldt Redwoods State Park. \u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eCareer decisions must be made which result in advancement, \"out of the field\", and into the Management ranks of Regional and Division Headquarters.
