That grey layer is like three inches thick... and that’s with compaction of more (70 million years?) of limestone, which is composed of the exo-skeletons of plankton and whatnot.

Hope this baby doesn’t blow again.

If it does, there is not much we will have to worry about. Areyou listening to Mark, ed & SGT Sam today? That gal who called in earlier - I think donna was her name. She and the next black caller should not be allowed anywhere near a voting booth.

"I have learned through bitter experience... that these decisions are not to be made lightly. Back a few years ago I would have bet you a million bucks...that Mammoth Mountain was about to go up. We began to talk about the possibility of putting that town on alert. Thank God the mountain didn't go up, but the damage had already been done.

The word leaked out that the U.S.G.S. Had expressed concern. So the tourists panicked and stayed away. The real estate values plummeted, and the town nearly went bankrupt. Consequently, I'm now a lot more cautious...when it comes to even talking about putting a town on alert. "

Mt. St. Helens ash. I have some of that somewhere, along with a pumice pebble I found later, from a hike on Rainier, up at the ice caves. I wonder where that is...

I was out in Yellowstone Park back in 1991 for about three days of camping. It is one of the most beautiful places on the face of the Earth. I wish I had the time and money to go back.

Unfortunately, if Yellowstone blows it’s lid, there won’t be a park to go back to :(

Uuuuhhhh . . . . from Yellowstone?

I don’t think so.

Spokane is EAST of Mt St Helens.

It was dark in the middle of the day there.

There is absolutely nothing on God’s green earth like seeing the Yellowstone basin in early evening, when the orange-pink-purple sunset casts it waning light on the mountain peaks. Or Old Faithful and Mammoth Hot Springs, or the mud pots, in the middle of the worst blizzard you’ve ever been in. Or the sound of the bull elk on the Teton plain, sounding throughout the nights as they’re in autumn’s rut, herding their females together. The sounds of the buffalo, jiggling your feet underfoot, as they run somewhere over a rise, but you can’t see them. The taste of true, pure, water from ice melt, hiking the Tetons, cold as snow and fresh as pure can be. Come nightfall, the tents all covered in inches of snow you have to shake off, with camp fires all around and that pungent, pine-and-aspen wood smoke trailing up into the night sky. Glory. It’s glory.

And then it explodes.

And we all die.

The End.

Thankfully, we lived a block from Sacred Hurt where my RN wife worked.

Left Mother-in-law stranded with us several extra days, though.

Sold the Honda after a few years . . . had been careful with it until cleanup—ran it very little etc.

Loved that fair.

and that huge fruit cake.

Loved the big circular fountain in the bowl with classical or some such music and lights and fountain timed to the music. They never have gotten that back right. IIRC.

I’ve been doing quite a bit of web research on Yellowstone today and here is the bottom line for me. Three swarms in the last year all large indicate something is going on. Ground lift further indicate something is going on. Now the thing to watch for, and hopefully we will not see it is numerous quakes of greater then mag 3. If we see numerous quakes of greater then mag 3 I am going to run to Kroger and spend a thousand bucks on canned food. Please put me on a ping list if you have one. thanks.
