Moon shot?

No, just our neighbor's yard. The park adjacent to Grand Teton National Park is Yellowstone National Par, the nations first National Park. It is about a 60 mile drive from where we live and surely the strangest place on earth.
I always wonder, everytime I go there, if the impact on the first individual who stumbled upon this stretch of strange and boiling area would have been all that different from the impact on the daily tourist. Yes, we, the tourists, have an idea of what to expect but, even so, are ill prepared to encounter firsthand the magnitude and bizarre beauty of Yellowstone. This is one place on earth where the now hackneyed word " awesome" truly can be appropriately applied.
