"Such a wonderful weekend we spent at Elk Lake Lodge. Words cannot express what a great time we had. Everything so neat and clean, the warm hospitality, the beautiful setting. I guess I could go on and on. Oh yes, the bed. It was like sleeping on a cloud. Wish I had one like it at home. Thank you all for a dinner that could not be matched. I'm hoping that we'll see you again next summer - to do this again and perhaps spend a more lengthy stay at Elk Lake Lodge."

The Latest News:
Last updated 2/5/2010

♦ Quite awhile ago I noted an article dealing with the unique pronghorn migration which occurs annually from Yellowstone south through much of western Wymoing. Then some were concerned the animals migration route might be blocked. This February 3, 2010, Trib article has good news. A conservation easement, purchased from a ranch in a key bottleneck area has secured the animal's route.

♦ Another animal which might be affected by the global warming (which has been shown to be based on known faulty science) is the Pika. However the US Fish and Wildlife Service are not ready to call the animal endangered according to this February 5, 2010 Trib article.

♦ Often conservation friendly legislation is business adverse. Seldom do the two go hand in hand. However, a recent decision to protect the Wyoming Range from oil drilling is receiving praise from businesses as well according to this February 3, 2010, article in Jackson Hole News and Guide.

♦ I admire Elizabeth, the editor of the Island Park News. She is willing to take a stand on controversial issues when she feels she's right. Usually I agree wholeheartedly. However, her Februar 4, 2001, article in The Island Park News hints toward what I believe could be a dangerous anit-cattle sentiment. Support the bison, but don't shoot yourself (or someone else) in the foot!

♦ Trivia Question: Yellowstone visitors rarely have time for more than an overview. However, some place names almost make you want to unearth their location. For example: River Styx. Sounds Egyptian! Where is it located?
Trivia Answer: It is a mostly hot subterranian creek originating from Upper Mammoth Hot Springs and flowing no one knows where. However, it is visible from White Elephant Back Terrace.
