A river near Yellowstone National Park suddenly changed colors and began to boil and emit yellowish noxious gases. Some witnesses wondered if "we're all about to die." Is this just another volcanic vent or a sign of bad things to come?
The Shoshone River runs through Cody, Wyoming, just east of Yellowstone National Park. It's close enough to be a 'canary in a coal mine' for unusual geothermic events and that's precisely what happened on March 25th when photographer Dewey Vanderhoff spotted the Shoshone River mysteriously boiling ... and more...
Yes, it's most likely a volcanic vent, but it's in the Shoshone River, which was once known as the Stinkingwater and not because of buffalos bathing in it. Explorer John Colter, who was a key member of the Lewis and Clark Expedition, visited the area in the winter of 1807 and wrote about the many geysers and hot springs and an unusual sulfur-smelling river. Geyser cones, sinkholes and abandoned sulfur mines are evidence that others found them too.
However, that was two centuries ago and the geothermal activities have all but disappeared, says Wyoming Game and Fish Department biologist Jason Burkhardt.
We're kind of in a lull compared to when John Colter was in this area. There was substantially more geothermal activity that was occurring back then.
Until now. While this particular event ended after four days, Burkhardt says recent other activity has released enough hydrogen sulfide into the river that there's a 1.5 mile sulfur-smelling dead zone that is completely void of fish...

Works fine here. I’m using a nearly-20-year-old CPU and over decade-old OS.
Look, Sigmund. Look in the sky. The planets are on fire. It is just as you prophesied. The planets of our solar system, incinerating. Like flaming globes, Sigmund. Like flaming globes.. Ah, ha, ha, ha..
The Yellowstone Caldera is probably getting close to its breakout point, geologically. As the earth is slowly cooling and contracting, the weak points of the crust are subject to greater and greater hydraulic pressure. The huge slag plug in the lower parts of this caldera is going to be thrust upward, with an immense degree of force, and all expectations now being assessed against “climate change” will be exceeded by a number of orders of magnitude.
Now, geological time is not measured with a stopwatch, and there is a variability in measuring this interval that may change by thousands of years either way. Something might happen fairly soon, or it might not.
Human beings build structures on KNOWN earthquake zones. After all, the time frame for most of humanity is in terms of 30 years, more or less. Total extinction is not a probable outcome.

Yellowstone Eruption In 2016? Shocking New Video Shows What Is Really Going On At Yellowstone
Hey old bud. I am going to fish Pimlico and Hatteras next month after a couple of weeks at Sunrise Beach. We are going to be at Nag’s Head.
One of the kids moved her family to Tampa and so we are going to be on the water a lot this spring.
Tell Yellowstone to stay easy till I get there next year after Bryce.
I’ve heard past eruptions of Yellowstone were bad, millions of years ago and such.
I wonder how much is hyperbole and how bad a real eruption would be in terms of the US continuing to function, and people continuing to survive, given our 300+ million population?
Lol, kinda agree. I was there just after Mt. St. Helens blew and it was kinda neat to scrape the volcanic ash off the car windows in the mornings. The geothermal features at Yellowstone are just incredible.
Are you kidding?
BLM would cry and complain that whites intentionally set off the eruption to take the attention away from their movement.

Thar she blows!!
Been a long time since we were to the Outer Banks, since son got married there twelve years ago.
Let me know when you plan to go to Yellowstone and Utah, one of the places I want to visit. Son in Boulder likes to climb there.
Since we got the RV I am into exploring for as long as I can.

Years ago while traveling near mount Whitney my dad stopped and we went into a stream with a hot spring in middle.
We went in and the closer you got to the vent the hotter the water.
Cool as can be and NATURAL.
Since we kept the cabin at Sunrise Beach when we moved to the Phoenix Valley, we pretty well shot our budget that might have put us in the RV universe.
Last summer we did the Canadian Maritime provinces and racked up 9000 miles on my Xterra and a son’s minivan.
This time I’m stuck in the wife’s Accord and will probably have back spasms. LOL
