Quote HistoryQuoted: I thought there was a 200 yr drought out west RN? There is in parts of California. The Yellowstone River runs into the Missouri River, i.e. east of the Continental Divide. That water will end up in the Mississippi River. Geography. It's what's for dinner. |

Quote HistoryQuoted: Quoted: I can't think why you wouldn't be able to go out the west entrance if the waters have receded by then. I haven't heard of any road damage that way.

As far as I know, there's no damage to the roads that way, but that could change. Pelican Creek was overflowing its banks, but I haven't seen anyone reporting the roads are out, just high water. |

No idea on the weight. But, I just got back from the Clarks Fork River canyon. This time of year is usually runs at 5,000 cfs (cubic feet/second), today it was at 23,800 cfs. The dirt road into the canyon was gone for about 200 yards. There was probably at least 60 acres of land gone from the force of the river, and you could constantly hear boulders tumbling down the river under the water. The force of the river was causing land slides about 100 feet above the water level. The course of that river in that canyon is going to be permanently changed after today. Spectacular display of natures power. I feel for those folks up in Montana catching the worst of this.

Now, if someone could just figure out how to get all that excess water to Lake Mead…
Why no TVA type infrastructure project of a regional to national network of flood capture and storage and pipeline to send water to drought stricken areas?? And when not needed for drought, pump it back into the ground to replenish aquifers, we’re doing that here in Wichita… It would be huge, but think of the benefits. |

Some of the rooms might also face that direction but I am not sure about that as we stayed in one of the "less expensive" motor lodge style rooms in the woods on the east side. |

Just saw the helicopter or drone footage.
Roads are completely washed out at every river bend. It's going to take years to repair. Parts and labor shortage along with all the environmental assessments to do the work etc. Can't work during winter most likely. The animals at Yellowstone will appreciate the break from people. |

Used to be one of my favorite places in the world to visit until so many foreigners started coming and it got so overcrowded it was unbearable. I could tell nearly unbelievable stories about how crowded it got. Despite all the sign warnings and video at the welcome center of a guy getting charged and hooked by the antlers of a bison and tossed up in the air people continue to get too close to take pictures and get injured to this day.

Quote HistoryQuoted: Glacier > Yellowstone if you've already been to Yellowstone once already. Glacier for the scenery, Yellowstone for the wildlife. Both are beautiful places in their own way. Someone else mentioned the tourists. They do clog the roads but if you go in fall (early fall in Glacier if you want any facilities), get up early and hit the trail you can go miles and see very few people. Almost everyone in the park congregates within a 1/4 mile of the parking areas. |

My neighbor called about that last night. Greatly concerned, as her family is supposed to be out there in July. They weren't all that excited about the trip, as it was the matriarch's idea and plan, but I've been talking up Yellowstone for the past year, and it seemed they were finally getting excited about it ... and then this.
I'm just me, so I've got flexibility for stuff like this if I was out there. I'd bounce up to Glacier or Robson or hit some different stuff in the Winds. They, however, can't do this. It's something like 12 people, the youngest being 3. Not a good position for the homeowners out there, and not a good position for folks who have a trip planned for this year. Gardiner looks hard hit. Haven't really had a chance to take all this in. Tonight, maybe. |
