You do know that Yellowstone could blow up at any time don't you?

Now he wants to move to "someplace beautiful" and my older one is sending me pics of him hiking with a bunch of friends in Oregon. I did good.

I liked the fact that when I was last there in the places where I might have gotten myself in trouble the signs did not say "DO NOT SCRAMBLE ON THE ROCKS" but rather "It is very dangerous to scramble on the rocks. We lose several visitors every season." I have a reasonable respect myself and have always followed two simple rules. When in doubt don't and always be thinking at least three times as hard about how you're getting down than how you're getting up. So far it's managed to keep me from having to call the rangers or worse.

It just says "Geology Exhibit" with an arrow pointing down the path. If you stand at just the right angle though the arrow is pointing right at Half Dome.
The are few things scarier than having a geologist at the wheel driving through scenic areas they aren't familiar with. At times I have been relegated to shotgun so I can scope the road cuts without driving off the road. When I went to Yosemite, I remember walking about 20 steps, stopping and staring around in awe, walking another 20 steps, staring around in awe, walking another 20 steps,,,

I'm pretty sure the one I used didn't have the additional pointer off to Glacier Point and didn't have that other geology exhibit blocking the view of the one I was trying to get a picture of. When it comes to geology exhibits out there one hardly knows where to begin. Just zoom out and pan over to the right. View Larger Map

On Rt58 here in VA there is a "historic" marker that tells you there is another "historic" marker 500ft further down the road. Guess they don't want you to miss that one. I'll try and get a pic of it next time I go to Petersburg.
