If/when you go to Monument Valley, consider dining at "Swingin' Steaks" in Mexican Hat, UT. Full disclosure; it's been over 20 years since I was there but back then it was a fun & unique restaurant.

We just planned it... sorta.
So far... 2nd week of October start.
Grand Canyon Railroad, Monument Valley, Valley of the Gods, Mogi Dugway, Arches N.P., Canyonlands N.P., Cheyenne, Worland, Powell, Cody, Wyoming, Yellowstone, Spokane, Grand Coulee, And More.
Haven't got exact times yet.
We'll keep you posted. And if we miss you...
Need to wave at Justine when we go by.

What? lol I forget things. Give me dates and I'll see if I can arrange a house for you to stay in when you're here. Assuming we haven't been blasted to Kansas City by then.

We were planing a trip to Yellowstone and Powell, Wyoming this October.
I hope they will still be there then.

The USGS had a good explanation of how this is not caused by changes in the magma system and how these hydrothermal explosions occur periodically in the park. So I reckon you are ok.
Have a good visit and don't break any glass tables.
YIKES.
There's a forest fire raging the our mountain parks. Major highway 16 shut down between BC & AB - and the town of Jasper evacuated last night. Mother Gaia is unhappy with us.
Thanks! Black Diamond Geyser. That's crazy high; I don't think it's in the books as being that big. It erupted in May after some increased activity (typically just a pool). Before that, it was 8 years since the last eruption. https://geysertimes.org/erupti...
Ah, embeds on RP stink. Anyway, major eruption in Yellowstone.
YIKES.

Was listening to how the tourist areas will be without income during this, and how much will be needed to repair and I thought - but we're sending $1B to Ukraine. I guess that it's important to do that but...
You could say that about all kinds of things that should be priorities (and I think aid to Ukraine is a high priority). When I was in grad school my thought about whatever war was going on at the time was that if they had used just one fewer cruise missiles that could have covered my whole education.
All those young, strong, wo/men in the military - and why can't they be "deployed" to areas like this instead of sitting in bases around the world?

Guard units are on the scene in gateway communities; I'm not sure about inside Yellowstone but they sometimes also get regular army fighting fires. But the "season" for road construction up there is only a few months; that main road north out of Mammoth will be a massive project... I think they're talking about abandoning the riverside drive and going back to the old wagon road, though... that will be easier to get done by September.

Yeah it's interesting how we can compartmentalize things but the defense compartments are so. much. larger.
