"Oh, well I feel better already!"

What will kill us faster? A big boom or global warming? I'm going for the big boom.

Yellowstone

It's a beautiful park. Easy to navigate and plenty of places to stay.

[Cobra64]

Bush’s fault.

[tubebender]

Remember Horace Greeley's words...

The best laid plans of Meese and Men should involve moving East as I fear if Yellowstone goes so goes the Cascadia Subduction Zone and I will need a place to rest my weary bones...

[Outland]

Sorry, folks... the world isn’t ending today.

When the animals start leaving the park....

  Evacuating Yellowstone would never be easy.

Nevermind Yellowstone ... try evacuating 2/3 of North America! If the Yellowstone megavolcano does its thing, as powerfully as it believed that it is capable of doing, then it's pretty much over for 99% of mankind within a year or two, due to darkness and starvation.

Oh well, world's gotta end somehow, I guess. I'll worry more AFTER it happens.

[bannie]

"Ain't no time to wonder why.
Whoopie! We're all gonna' die!"

[Dustbunny]

Wow, does this mean we won’t have to live through the BHO presidency?

[Outland]

It’s 1:30 AM Central Time and the world still has not ended yet.

[BigIsleGal]

“So it could just blow without warning?”

NO No NO....FEMA will get advanced noticed...and...etc.etc.etc.
Get with the GORE Program would ya?

Yellowstone National Park is a national treasure. I had the joy of working there during my college summers in 1961 and 1962. That was followed by a summer working in Grand Teton National Park in 1963. Talk about a blessed youth. Both are beautiful in their different ways. Here are a few of my shots from my visit this past August. It was so much the better, as I traveled with my son, to show him some of my favorite views and places, like the Cowboy Bar, in Jackson and the Jackson Lake Lodge, in the park.

This is my favorite picture of the trip, Hayden Valley, between Yellowstone Lake and Canyon, with the little black dots on the right being the American buffalo

This is one of the most breath taking view in the world, the 309 foot Lower Falls of the Yellowstone, in the Grand Canyon of the Yellowstone

A close up view of the same falls

This Western Tananger flew in an landed about 6 feet from me. I almost had a attach getting my camera ready for the shot. It was like it was looking for food. What a rare treat!

Sun setting on the Tetons from String Lake. What a joy.

Here's a shot of the falls on the "inside" Firehole River road. Great swimming, too.

I sure hope you have enjoyed my pictures. Visit and support the National Park system. Perhaps, next summer, Yellowstone Lake will be warmer than the usual 55 degrees, turning it into a classic hot spaw, with a view.

but nobody really knows

The first true words I've heard from the scientific community in decades......

One of their first tasks, Doss told me, was to draw up an "earthquake and volcano hazards plan"-a plan of action in the event of a crisis. "There isn't one already?" I said. "No. Afraid not. But there will be soon."

I assume that's for a small eruption - a large one would require 5 or 6 states to be evacuated...
