Steamboat is far more impressive, but also more unpredictable, than Old Faithful in my experience.

Some of us remember. If you don't, google it and understand the consequences of this administration's action gutting our federal agencies.

BTW, there happens to be a new steam vent active in Yellowstone, not to mention a recent eruption in one of the park's basins.

No, Forest Service salaries are not going to "balance the budget" in this scheme of things. Instead, do the math involved with the loss of support staff and crews required to battle wildfires after all of these firings. Talk to communities and agencies in California.

Making a list of media here who are producing the best investigative and unbiased/hard hitting reality journalism. Many of my longstanding preferred outlets are failing when we need this the most.

it makes more sense to hand them over to sovereign Indigenous entities who first and originally stewarded these lands.
Sorry, no lovely public lands image here to draw attention. Please, we are in the battle of a lifetime, if not centuries.

Surely others have had this thought ...
If the current administration is attempting to destroy federal agencies' ability to manage, steward, conserve, and preserve public lands and resources so that some 'other entity' can take them over ...
