6/25/09 Tentative deal would replace brucellosis rules (AP story in Casper Star-Tribune)--one way or the other, this is a big deal for bison and elk in Yellowstone; either it means that the new rules will discourage cattle from being raised in Greater Yellowstone, or it will mean a greater assault on elk and bison, or quite possibly both ... but the rules and dynamics have changes (there is now less incentive for any cattle producer outside of the zone to care what happens inside Greater Yellowstone)

6/30/09 Yellowstone, day 3) (by Colin)--up Mt. Washburn just like we did; Molly's account

6/30/09 Yellowstone, day 4 (by Colin)--we didn't go up Mt. Sepulcher - not really something we could do with River, but we did see the Beaver Ponds far below, looking up often at the peak; Molly's account is now up

6/30/09 Beetle hysteria again (by George Wuerthner in New West)

6/30/09 More Yellowstone geyser abstract art (art by David Cramer)

6/30/09 Yellowstone (by Chris)--makes a convincing case to outsiders that everything they thought they knew about Yellowstone was WRONG

6/30/09 Day eight: When you get to a fork in the road, take it (by Rebecca)

6/30/09 Road trip (day 2) MT-SD (by Debbie)--thought Yellowstone was boring; why take a road trip if you're not going to do it right?

6/30/09 Day 15--West Yellowstone to West Thumb (by thackerjoh)--lot's of bike blogs this summer raising money for causes, often with a "journey of hope" theme; this is just one ... I like the idea; I just worry with so many that it's becoming saturated

6/29/09 A daily dose of culture (by Carson)

6/29/09 Don't jump (by Bill Croke The American Spectator)

6/29/09 State leadership gives hope on brucellosis issue (by Casper Star-Tribune)--if the states don't grasp that you won't eliminate brucellosis in Greater Yellowstone, they will fare no better and continue to be caught up in the red herring that keeps killing buffalo and abusing elk

6/29/09 Storm Point (by Bill and Cap)

6/29/09 Pleasant rants (by Claire)

6/29/09 Homeschooling on the road--Yellowstone National Park (by Jessica Parnell)

6/29/09 The weight of history (by Yellowstoner)

6/29/09 Not much happened today until ... (by CDM)--given the erratic behavior of moose, very lucky the moose didn't charge

6/28/09 Bear(ly) hanging on (by Robyn)--I saw those bears as well but didn't stop as I navigated through the hazards of the zillion cars that were all too close; they were, however, cute

6/28/09 the first days ... (by Brandi)--starting job in Yellowstone

6/28/09 Wildlife (by Claire)--working a backcountry office

6/26/09 A bear encounter (by Eric Ripma Nutty Birder)

6/25/09 Woman tossed by bison in Canyon area (by Yellowstone Insider)--lost track of this site when I didn't pick it up on search engines I use; will have to keep an eye on it manually for awhile

6/25/09 The internet is available to me! (by Claire)--and a number of interesting posts after this; a great diversity of worker posts this summer

6/25/09 Black Tail Creek and the Yellowstone River Trail (by Fun Pig in Reflection)

6/25/09 Ahhhh ... time to relax (by Tracy)

6/24/09 Is national park wilderness a good idea? Does designating national parks as wilderness help or hinder the prospect of winning protection for truly threatened roadless lands? Do the national parks already have enough protection? (by Bill Schneider New West)

6/24/09 Blue skies (by Robyn)--the weather has been delightful; I'm sure it will change just as I try again to go camping in the park this weekend

6/24/09 Touring Yellowstone, efficiently (by Lindsay Meares)--which is what I think the Mission 66 planners had in mind; sacrifice a few areas so that most of the splendor goes untouched by people racing through to a few of the highlights

6/24/09 It's not just the fish (by Yellowstoner)

6/24/09 Gardiner, MT and Teddy Roosevelt (by Suzi Dow)

6/23/09 Curatorial park tour (by Molly)

6/23/09 A tale of danger and supernatural endurance (by Jacob)

6/23/09 The Great American Road Trip continues (by Eric)--it's great that Yellowstone recycles; however, even though readers know that I no doubt swing far left of center and have the environment in my heart, I am a huge skeptic of the "going green" movement, which still wreaks of a corporate lie (that you actually can live relatively normal lives and be environmentally friendly without making drastic changes--as the blog subtitle suggests at the top); I mean is there really an environmentally responsible "Great American Road Trip" (even hitchhiking is on someone else's carbon emissions)? That's not to say such trips shouldn't be made, but the "green" pretense is sometimes too much for me.

6/23/09 The beauty of Tetons & Yellowstone (by Cindy)

6/23/09 Wolves aren't terrorists (by Kody L. Cartwright in Casper Star-Tribune)

6/22/09 Snow days (by Robyn)

6/21/09 There's no way we'll ever update this enough (by Andrew)

6/21/09 Day 11 Cody to the eastern border of Yellowstone National Park (by Lee DeRemer)--one downside I always felt when I was serious about biking was my tendency to ignore my surroundings and get bogged down in the process of the ride; this post is suggestive of it ... would you know that they were just outside Yellowstone if you weren't told that?

6/21/09 Trust (Mark 4:35-41) (by Danny Bradfield)--sermon with relevance to Yellowstone; my origins in Yellowstone saw me helping to conduct religious services on Thumb Bay in Grant Village

6/19/09 Yellowstone (by Daryl Wing)

6/19/09 Guns in parks (by Bangor Daily News--ME)--about Acadia NP; however, implicitly argues that guns in Yellowstone might make sense on the basis of bear attacks ... not commenting on the merits of guns in parks per se, I will say that the last fatality from a grizzly attack in Yellowstone was ... 1986 ... and only 5 have ever been documented (6, if you count Gallatin National Forest).

6/19/09 Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming (by kristen s. wilkins)

6/18/09 Charged by a bison (by Robyn)

6/18/09 To bluff or not to bluff ... (by Barb)--relishes working at a visitor center; I understand the point about bluffs (I remember what it was like to answer the millionth time where the bathrooms were, and you had to act as though it was the first time you heard it, and I could do it where other co-workers could not)

6/18/09 Death at Lower Falls (by Jennifer C.)--Jennifer shares a couple of the rumors she heard while working at Canyon, some turned out false

6/18/09 Yellerstone: Waffle Fry Basin (by Frances)

6/18/09 Rehousing all day (by Molly)--and a whole series of similar posts on her NPS interning blog

6/17/09 #493--Yellowstone wolf drama (by Brian Bastinelli)

6/16/09 GYC annual meeting in Jackson (by Leslie)--I don't share Leslie's glowing assessment of the Greater Yellowstone Coalition, but it's good to read another point of view on it

6/16/09 Day 10--layoever in Yellowstone Park (by Thehorck)--don't seem to understand that people get irritated when motorized vehicles pass on the shoulder; there's usually a good reason traffic is stopped

6/16/09 Yellowstone & Grand Tetons (by DrLewie)

6/16/09 Yellowstone hike from Blacktail to Gardiner (by Alex Albers)--not terribly well written, but I have a tendency to post backcountry trail reports because they are outside the norm and are therefore informative

6/16/09 Hey all, just got off my weekend ... (by Catherine)--pilfering brownies at work ... yum

6/15/09 Compare & contrast ... YNP & GTNP (by Oppenheimers)--I've commented before on my displeasure of this sort of comparison; the two parks are politically distinct ... ecologically, they are part of the same system, and so the areas of diversity and similarity should be divided accordingly, not based upon arbitrary boundaries

6/15/09 Split shifts (by Robyn)

6/15/09 Monday, June 15th, geyser day! (by Dobbs Family)

6/15/09 Beartooth Pass Montana (by george crossland)

6/15/09 Yellowstone lesson for the day (by Bob Therieau)--I've always wanted to start a fake bear jam, or rather just stop and look at a flower or chipmunk or something I personally find interesting and see if a crowd develops

6/13/09 Day 8 (by The Griswald's Family Truckster)

6/13/09 Yellowstone: Day 2 (by RobKantner)--recommends using GPS; however, you have to be careful with those devices in Yellowstone; some tourists end up on roads that are some of the most difficult in the country; one ended up stranded miles from anywhere

6/13/09 June 13, 2009 (by chase garrett)--working in Grant Village, pictures of a possibly injured grizzly

6/13/09 Little Johnny and the lock out (by Sophia The Last Frontier Girls)

6/9/09 Yellowstone poacher loses hunting privileges for life (by Bob Janiskee National Parks Traveler)

6/9/09 Day 9: Why do they call it Yellowstone? (by Liz)--well, I know, and I bet a lot of you know, too; however, the actual origins of the park name are slightly obscure, as The Act of Dedication doesn't name the park

6/9/09 YNP proves again it's a draw (by Bruce McCormack Cody Enterprise)

6/9/09 Summer at Yellowstone (by Pat & Joe)

6/9/09 I FEEL (by superashes)--admits to stealing rocks from Yellowstone; like many others before them that blog about this sort of thing, this person potentially faces criminal charges for bragging about the crime online ... in the past, I've warned people about the danger, and they each time quickly removed the post - but as I'm not a member of Livejournal, I can't do so in this case

6/4/09 Rain, rain go away (by Robyn)

6/4/09 Yellowstone National Park, WY to West Yellowstone, MT (by scott)--I wonder if most tourists would even notice the nest if there weren't a sign alerting them of it (and telling them not to stop); there are a gazillion bald eagles in the park; people should leave this one alone

6/4/09 Yellowstone (by Julie)--camping and 6 1/2 months pregnant? "no big deal"

6/4/09 Judges should toss dueling wolf lawsuits (by Casper Star-Tribune)

6/3/09 Beaver Ponds Loop (by Molly)

6/3/09 Salazar, permanently waive national park entrance fees: The Interior Department admits that ever-increasing fees discourage Americans from enjoying their national parks and hurt local economies; hopefully, this leads to making our national parks a free tradition, every weekend (by Bill Schneider New West)--I entirely agree; wherever user fees for public goods are implemented all over the world, they are fundamentally unfair and usually don't improve service or overall funding (since funding becomes dependent not on the public budgeting process but on the ability to attract users)

6/3/09 The moose (by Leslie)
