El Dorado is a story about a young man named Danny, who had to work his own way through college. He starts his new job as a Park Ranger in a National Forest.
In El Dorado, the reader will experience the many thrills and dangers that confront our ranger, many of them life threatening, as he makes his security patrols through the park.
In El Dorado, our ranger is unmarried and is looking for that special someone to love, someone that will love him. He searches in exciting locations like Lake Tahoe and Reno. Will he find it or only end up losing in the dating game?
Meet old George, a crusty old miner, in El Dorado. He will tell stories of the Gold Rush days, to anyone who will listen to him. Learn about true friendship, and find out how a little kindness can be returned.
Travel with Danny in El Dorado, as he explores the roads and mountain passes that cut through the High Sierras. Visit many of the small mining towns that make up California's Mother Lode.
In El Dorado, grieve with Danny and all Americans as they try to cope with and recover from the terrorist's attacks of September 11, 2001.
