Taken from a spot on the shoreline of Yellowstone Lake. Throughout much of the Park, there's a preponderance of evidence relating to the massive fires that ravaged the Park years ago. Under existing Park regulations and policies, any fallen trees that do not block roadways, trails, or otherwise represent a hazard, are to be left as they fell. These dead trees, which number in the millions, will be on the scene for decades. Due to the elevation of the Park land and a couple of other considerations, it will take that long before these trees rot to nothing.
I always wanted to lie naked on a bearskin rug in front of a fireplace. Cracker Barrel didn't take kindly to it.

I think, Carter, that on my first visit to Yellowstone in 2012, the aspect of the place that was most unexpected and surprising was the immense scope of the fire damage...hence the huge areas with these untold numbers of dead trees. You're absolutely right...." What a sight ".
See you,
Tom
Hi David, It's good to hear from you. I don't remember ( what else is new ) what the exact year was but the damage I'm showing was all the result of that last time when they had these monstrous fires sweeping everywhere.
Take care.
Tom
Thanks, buddy, and Happy New Year to you.
Tom
Hi Angelo. I hope the new year is a great one for you. Thanks for your support.
