Flight from Perth tomorrow, change planes in Brisbane, overnight in LA and then onto Jackson Hole.

I keep losing my glasses,

I begin today by acknowledging the Ngarluma people, Traditional Custodians of the land on which I work and live, and pay my respects to their Elders past and present. I extend that respect to all Aboriginal and Torres Strait Islander peoples.

Neat. Bon Voyage ||smiley||

QuoteJackson Hole Airport is the largest and busiest commercial airport in Wyoming. The Jackson Hole Airport is also the only airport in the US that is located inside a National Park.

Had 2 workmates visit Montana lately.  One graduate work for university, and another just left after vacation.  Both saw Yellowstone and were awed.  Hope you see Yellowstone, Glacier, chief crazy horse and Rushmore, grand canyon, and yosemite.  Although 10-12 hr drives in different directions from Jackson hole.
Ironically, the myriad  of "god" beliefs of humanity are proving to be more dangerous than us learning that we are on our own, making the way we treat each other far more important

Glad you are seeing some of our cooler country.

Watched the game against France on TV. It is a shame that there always has to be a winner and a loser. Both sides played well and pushed themselves to the limit.

What are you doing in Wyoming? Yellowstone?

We were there a few years ago and I remember hot springs and dinosaur bones.

i havent been to yellowstone since i was five years old. geysers, moose, bears, hot springs, mudpits, i remember a lot of it.

spectacular country, especially because the whole thing is sitting on top of that magma chamber that sooner or later is quite possibly going to turn into a volcano and fry all the touristas.

best to see it before it does.

Nope. That magma chamber is moving east, coming for you, kevin. Looking at a topo map you can see where it's been.

I was just in Michigan's upper peninsula looking at volcanic rock that formed 1 billion years ago. The fault line is inactive now, or so they say...

michigan is a basin, if you look at a small scale geologic map



the rings are layers that used to be one above the other, but the middle sank and then was ground off flat, making the rings

The volcanic rock I was talking about is about where all the dark yellow and brown are on the map, on Lake Superior. The fault line ran through the Keewenaw Peninsula on the northwest end of the upper peninsula.

My family and I camped in the Custer National Forest near there a few years ago. Beautiful country. I'm sure the locals have informed you to watch out for grizzlies.

Side note. Dexter, you should post some pictures as you travel. Just a thought. Would be neet to see America from your perspective.
