Okay...

Thanks to the wireless internet available from the parking lot at the Yellowstone Inn in Gardiner, MT, I successfully started this little blog.

I have a lot to write about, as this past week has been full of new and exciting experiences. For example, on Tuesday I stood beneath the roots of a 6-foot-wide petrified redwood stump exposed on the side of a mountain, and on Wednesday I was forced to outrun three irritated male bison while setting up a gas monitoring station near a group of hydrogen sulfide gas vents that coincedentally heat their bathroom floor in the winter (resulting in the unofficial name of "Bison Poop Flats"). Stories will come soon. Right now, it is more important for me to drive over 80 miles so that I can buy things like toilet paper and beef jerky at a reasonable price.

For now, read about the park: Official Yellowstone NP Page .

And take a look at my new office:


Much more soon...
