1. Enjoy your trip

Been there one time, that was over 40 yrs ago.

2. Are you going by way of US 20 out of Idaho Falls?

cuz the Targee National Forest is wonderful too and not generally as crowded. If you are camping, there are very nice sites there along the river.

Enjoy your trip!

havocmom, in the shadow of the plume if the super volcano blows... but the geologists haven't left town yet, so it's prolly OK :evilgrin:

3. You're Not a Geology Graduate Student, Are You?

Your headline spooked me because the Art BELL replacement dude has been drumbeating for months that Yellowstone might explode at any time between today and a thousand years from now, and our own Hurricane Hawker has soothed the spooking by saying that - if it were true - we would know by thousands of geology graduate students flocking IN to the park, then, when the erruption was imminant - them flocking OUT.

4. Not in geology

But in real life geo-politics as in the Marine Corps circa '67-'68 Vietnam with honers credit for work @ the Tet offensive... But that's another story...

5. Keep an eye open for my Dear ol' Dad
