The article goes on to say that the damage to the road is unusually severe.

I think... it’s gonna blow soon. I think the park is gonna blow.

As they examined possible fixes, park officials warned visitors not to hike into the affected area, where the danger of stepping through solid-looking soil into boiling-hot water was high.

Yeah. Nothing more reassuring than a bunch of bureaucrats who think they can overcome the effects of a super-volcano. Psssst. Hey guys. I know. Try raising the asphalt a few inches off the ground so it's not in direct contact with the source of the heat.

What's next? Trying to administer the health care system for 300 million people?

If we don't stop Global Warming, ALL of our roads will soon look like this. It's the truth, I tell ya!!

Actual Yellowstone road image from July 12, 2014.

I'm glad we visited 3 years ago on my 60th birthday rather than this July.

Firehole Lake Drive is closed:

I was on that road when they closed it. Its a one way drive , and when we completed it, the entrance was blocked. Thinking back, there was a portion if the road next to some boiling springs that was in very bad shape. I heard people talking about the road melting at another stop in the park, but assumed it was poor construction, and the warm temperature.

I think an eruption here would be the best political and cultureal move we, as a nation, could make.

She’s gonna blow, Cap’n!

Fear Not!!!

We have a President that can stop the rising seas and heal the earths burning fever...

What's a little super volcano to a man of his stature and ability ?

[informavoracious]

Chinese asphalt?

Glad we visited there on July 3, not this week.

Where are you going to go when the volcano blows Mr. Utley?

5.56mm

[Political Junkie Too]

Have the liberals blamed it on fracking yet?

Along with the earthquakes in Oklahoma and Mauna Loa coming back to life, it sounds like the North American plate is acting up.

I read somewhere, this is at least in part weather-related?

Just don’t want people getting all alarmed.

:D

Here’s the story I told you about.

[FlyFisher]

Looks like Wilshire Blvd. in L.A. The mayor should be ashamed.

A good thing the super moon has passed.
