Okay, this needs some explanation. See, my family usually does hiking vacations; that is, we go to a national park and hike for a week or two. They're a lot of fun if you dig the American West and being outside in nature and all that. One of the things we've discovered in the course of our outings, though, is that most of the people who go to the national parks have very little regard or respect for nature, and will just take whatever path they think appropriate to get wherever it is they're going, regardless of what it might do to wildlife or vegetation or whatever. They'll also feed the wild animals, attempt to get close to the wild animals (two things which you are explicitly told not to do at every turn in places like Yellowstone), etc. There are people who, sadly, have no respect for anything or anyone else. For these people, the Trail Police was created. The Trail Police are a mythical group designed to do one thing--keep stupid people from ruining the park. They keep idiots on the marked trails, prevent them from feeding the animals or getting to close to them, and, in some extreme cases, administer punishment in the form of a cattle prod to anyone who refuses to cooperate. This whole idea was Clif's initially, and I've made several comics about the Trail Police over the years. But, as Clyde said, there is no official position like that available for people who just show up and ask to do it. Oddly enough, it is the sort of job Clif has this summer up at the Black Canyon of the Gunnison on Colorado.
