SIL and her family go to Chico. Haven't been there yet- hopefully his thing won't blow and we'll make it there someday.
That area you live in has some of the most beautiful scenery on earth -at least to me with my limited experience.
Some geologist believe that the continental plate has moved and the hot spot that is the caldera is now under mountains. They think, maybe, could be, that with the added weight of the mountains over the hot spot that a major eruption is not as likely in the short term, geological short term that is.
The series of major eruptions throughout geological time may not be as a reliable indicator to when, or if, the next eruption is “due”. The bottom line is that there is a great bit of uncertainty here as well as a wide range of theories from geologist. Personally, I ain't losing any sleep. If YNP blows I will try to make a quick post though to give you all a heads up...
At least the UN is not in charge!
