Feel good in Yellowstone NP
Posted by Pomjuk , Reader : 625 , 03:23:49

A good looking cowboy is presenting pictures from Yellowstone National Park. It's about 40 degree fahrenheit in the morning.






Half of Yellowstone National Park is basically a caldera of a super volcano, with a radius of 45 miles, this make Yellowstone the latest volcano on the face of this earth.

 




Underneath the surface about 1-2 miles there are active lava flows that constantly change the temperature of the surface dynamically.













I was lucky to see this geyser erupted. It does once every 11 hours.




Wild flowers






Yellowstone lake is also a part of the volcano caldera.



Some single cell bacteria can grow even at 160 degree Fahrenheit.








Bison' tracks.










Boson tracks on the bacteria grow.











Before the white man came to the area around 1850 there were 3 million bison roaming the plane.  In 1882 there were about 3000 left mostly die because of the climate changed. And in 1890 there were 300 left. 

 

Now the population is starting to grow back up.

This wolf is stalking a nearby herd of elks.




The old faithful erupts every 90 minutes or so.

Ian, what kind of comment is that? Ian, you are such an ass.

PJ, I like your pictures. I'm also going to visit the Hoover Dam which I never visited even though I visited Las Vegas 5 times.

"The richest ruler on earth!!!!" Remember this blog pj?

Only you can answer these questions. But will you?? All he can do is cry and bitch like a little girl that: its the coup!! It's the coup!!

pj you bitch, you are not worthy to be called a Thai. You who suppotrts da torpedoe and her defamation against HMK. You who supports jakrapop who seeks to bring down our King. You are slime; and that's why you are afraid to answer my questions regarding the petition.

Alien, yes sorry about that I left a link out, basically combining the two links whilst Man was the primary cause of decline another contributing one was a 25 year drought in the 19th century. This is a migratory species which constantly over crops and has to move on. White settlers blocked the migration paths.

C18, Ian: Every one here seems to have a few horses, an RV and a log cabin. It is a rich people's playground here. When I say log cabins I did not mean normal size log cabins. I mean huge ones.

Mustangs were roaming this area for ages. In Utah there is a State Park called “Dead Horse Point” state park,


In the old days; people fenced off an area with 2,000 feet cliff on one side and chased the mustangs in. The good ones were broken and used the wide ones were left in the area. Even though the gate were open may horses could not find their way out and died of thirst; seeing the Colorado river 2000 feet down below

c19 Alien: I heard a lady telling a park ranger that she is a scientist. And she used to work in the area for 3 month but had never seen a grizzly. If you really want to see a grizzly you have to go a little bit North to Glacier national park. I guarantee you will see plenty of grizzly bears and bighorn sheep in Glacier NP.

I used to have a relative in Whitefish, MT so I’ve been to Canadian Rockies and Glacier NP quite a few times. If you want to see moose and elks go to Jasper, AL. They’re just roaming in town among people.

With this trip I have completed the Rockies range from Jasper, AL all the way to Moab, UT. I think I will have to check the map of where the rang starts.

c16, expresso: Like lonewolf say, it is better to come in the spring or fall, so you see more dramatic effect of the geothermal against cool air.

A month ago they had a blizzard in mountain area so the winters here last till end of June. I am thinking of coming back in the winter. I can go ski in Jackson Hole and the drive up to Yellowstone.

I stayed in a resort south of Jackson Hold and they also have horseback riding.

The first picture looks real not like the 'posed' picture of you in front of Rama V. As though you were a loyal Thai to King and country.

I take it that you're back from your vacation now so this posting of mine won't disturb you.

I asked you on many blogs the following:

I have not heard even a whimper from them (you and maxwell) as to their thoughts on the propriety of the petition to get a Royal amnesty for thaksin.

Don't they (you & maxwell) care enough for this minor detail that all they can do is rant about the LM law?

And disregard the game being played by thaksin and his crew at the expense of your KING!

Their (you & maxwell) silence in this matter shows blatantly their quisling nature that they cannot bring themselves to defend our KING but must side with those who are anti-coup and who are also playing a dangerous game that they support.

What do you think cowboy?

For all of you who want to experience the American west, even for a few days, I would suggest that you consider participating in the yearly (late fall) roundup of the large buffalo herd at Custer State Park in the Black Hills of South Dakota. Each year a certain number of volunteers, on horseback, are recruited to help round up and separate the buffalo herd for branding (ear tags on the young) and removing a select number for sale (to keep the numbers stable within the park). During the fall this area is beautiful with the crisp air and changing colors (also lots of antelope, elk, mountain lions, etc. in the park). (I had a mountain lion follow me at a distance one day during a hike through a wilderness area in the park a couple of years ago...that got the blood circulating fast.) There is an element danger in this event as buffalo are unpredictable and if you are not a good rider or if your horse spooks easily you could be thrown in the way of some very large and tempermental animals. But what an experience to be part of a buffalo roundup.

Ian. I followed your link but saw nothing about drought. From what I saw, this sight also blamed over hunting of the Bison for its' near extinction.

Horses were extinct in America, mainly at the hands of Clovis man, 80% of the North American animal population disappeared within 1000 years of the arrival of man *. The present wild horses are the results of escapes from European imports. the bison would have perhaps survived the over hunting, which was mainly to feed the railway construction gangs, but the drought was the final straw.

Next year, I swear I'm going to Yellow Stone Park and take a horse-back ride to live like a cowboy for a few nights - grill steak over camp fire and boil bean and coffee in the morning.

I love horses. Somehow I feel horses are part of the American continent. The time that I read about horse meat plants in America, I had to admit I was quite disgusted!

Actually, I knew what Bison was long before. I read it in a book when I was a kid.

It said Bisons had hairs and lived in North America.

They live in herds, like cows, and they don't have natural predator except humans, of course, and that they were very cruecial in sustaining the ecosystem of the American plains.

I remember the book said where the Bisons live, there's plenty of green grass.

The book said they became EXTINCT when humans killed all of them.

That was when I was 5 years old, probably...

It was a colored comic book. Everything was in cartoons. Some in colored pictures.

And after about 25 years later, I read somewhere the humans have restored Bisons back to nature.

I was totally AMAZED by it, and at the same time, VERY VERY happy.

Just for THIS acheivement, the Americans should get my BIG THANK YOU...

I grew up in the Dakotas where there is still a sense of the frontier spirit and independence that was a part of the original pioneers. The
American buffalo has made a remarkable comeback from the early years of the 20th century when two herds were found in the west (one in Canada) which allowed for an intensive breeding program bringing back the buffalo to sustainable levels. Many ranches in the Dakotas now raise buffalo for economic purposes because they can live on the native grasses and in all weather with minimal effort...(unlike the herefords or angus cattle which are originally from tropical stock). There is even a plan to turn the Dakotas into a buffalo commons since it is unsuitable for row crops. By the way...many of the wolves in Yellowstone came from the native stock of wolves in Minnesota (where there are several thousand roaming the northern lake region). As you can tell other than the wonderful elephant, I am very attracted to the majesty of the American buffalo.

c9, Pan: I was not supposed to be that close to the bison, as per the ranger’s warning. Bison in the park were wild. The park also showed video of people being strike by the bison. But no Bison was very claim.

C8, Alien: I think it was the move “Dances with wolf” that shown the American Indian hunting method of chasing a herd bison down the cliff.

I have just found out that the method is accurate for the period at a museum in Cody. Hint the town is named after William Cody otherwise known as “Buffalo Bill”.

c9: Pan; from wikipedia.

The park is located at the headwaters of the Yellowstone River, from which it takes its historical name. Near the end of the 18th century, French trappers named the river "Roche Jaune," which is probably a translation of the Minnetaree name "Mi tsi a-da-zi" (Rock Yellow River).[6] Later, American trappers rendered the French name in English as "Yellow Stone."

Sorry if my comment 7 seems a little harsh, but you made me go look it up so I could defend my comment 3 - which was what I learned in school - over-hunting. I remember my book had drawings in it of hunters on horseback, their horses piled high with Buffalo pelts and the carcasses rotting behind them on the plains.

Bison were hunted almost to extinction in the 19th century and were reduced to a few hundred by the mid-1880s - Wikipedia

Historically, bison numbered an estimated 20-30 million. Unregulated shooting of bison, which culminated in mass slaughters during the 1870s, reduced the population to 1,091 in 1889. - Defenders of Wildlife.

Above are the quotes from Wikipedia and from Defenders of Wildlife. Please look them up yourselves.

GGrass, you wouldn't know waht Bison was unless they sold a pot brand under that name.

C2: Jack, coffee in Montana, Utah and Wyoming sucks. It tested like water from someone washing a coffee cup. I guess Americans after boycott English tea in 1774 have never really developed into real coffee drinkers. They’re still hanging onto the tea like coffee.

c3: I overheard a park ranger said that what really collapsed the buffalo population was the climate changed. Wikipedia said over hunting along with 15 yrs drought between 1845 to 1860 that almost put the American Bison to extinction.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/American_bison

Though, it shouldn’t be that bad now coz I had a buffalo rib-eye steak the other night at a restaurant. I also saw some ranches raised buffalos in the Grand Teton NP area.

Yellostone is a beautiful park and is what all the other national parks want to be when they grow up.

I always learned that the Bison (Americans call it a Buffalo) numbvers declined becasue of over hunting. You are the first to claim it was due to climate change. they used to hunt them for just their tonguem, which was a delicacsy and throw leave the rest of the buffalo to rot. "Buffalo Bill" (a legend of the old west) was particuarly known for the 10's of thousands of Buffalos he killed! Happliy they don't allow that anymore. I thik it was in the 1950's or 60's where the buffalo was virtually extinct with anly a few in capitivity. The U. S. government started a breeding plan with the purpose of releasing them into the wild. The program was an amazing success. Same with the Eastern Timberwolf. Ranchers complain about the wolves and so there is hunting allowed of them outside the park. The wolves were also virually extinct in the "lower 48" (states) and had to be brought in from Canada.

Oh Dear Mr Pomjuck,what have you said.In 1882 the Climate changed.Perhaps School Teachers can add this fact to there indoctrination Lessons.The nasty White Man with Gun and Dirty Space Shuttle is the only reason we lost the Panda,if you were to believe them.Nice to see a young person in America with his hat on correctly.Those pictures really improved my Nescafe,Cheers.
