Over 1,000 earthquakes rattle Yellowstone in July in ‘doozy’ of month, geologists say

I’ll be there in a few days

I plan on staying in West Yellowstone and I will be drinking plenty of beer if the earthquakes become more severe like they did before Mt St Helen’s erupted. I was on Patrol up north of Iceland when that happened and I remember reading a story about it early one morning after getting off watch

As a young navy officer, I was stationed in Idaho and I lived in Idaho Falls. Every chance I could, I drove over to Yellowstone. I’ve been back several times since then but none of the visits were as good as when I used to check out gear and go snow shoe. The only Yellowstone access in winter was the northwest entrance so I had to drive up through Montana and then back south into the park. But in winter, I had lots of things all to myself.

Not all of Yellowstone’s eruptions are the BIG ones so the odds are with me that I’ll be driving away in a couple of weeks all inspired again
