I have friends who work in Yellowstone, and each week I get an update of the latest tourist mishap. It is amazing that more people are not hurt, considering the crazy stunts that tourists do. Susan, too bad you didn't come up to Bozeman for the Sunday night session in the Baxter Hotel lobby.

There was a large forest fire at the base of the Tetons near Jackson Hole in about '59. That was also the year of the huge earthquake in Yellowstone that moved a mountain and created Quake Lake.

It is beautiful mostly unpopulated country, and yes, I love living here. If you go to my son's webpage, there is a picture of us in Yellowstone, and a link where you can click to hear a wolf howl. http://www.mcn.net/~acflynn/Ryan.html
