 Favorite links for Yellowstone
A great place to get started.
According to Altavista.com this is the "best and most popular site for Yellowstone." Plan your visit here, lots of information on fun things to see and do. Check out the webcams posted at various sites around the park.
The Yellowstone Association is a non-profit organization located in the park to promote preservation through visitor education. I've been on several of their wonderful field trips, including one on fire ecology, along with wildlife watching expeditions including wolves and grizzlies. Check the schedule and don't hesitate; they sell out fast.
The old archive site, located in the basement of the Park Headquarters building, is featured in Summer of Fire and was written into Rain of Fire before the new facility was planned. Open in 2005, the new museum and library is a fabulous showcase for the more than 200,000 historic objects in the collection, as well as over 1400 linear feet of archives.
Links for Summer of FireIncludes hot topics, current and historical fire statistics and links to all the agencies it coordinates, as well as firepix: a fabulous collection of photographs of the men and women who fight fire, their aircraft and equipment in action, and dynamite shots of wildfire dominating the land.
On the official site of the National Park Service, this gives up to date information on park fires and has a special section devoted to 1988.

Message board and link to www.seeplane.com, where you can get a virtual tour of the aircraft flown in Summer of Fire.
Links for Rain of FireOn 14 May 2001, the U.S. Geological Survey (USGS), Yellowstone National Park, and University of Utah entered into an agreement to establish the YVO. I have used this partnership as the basis for both cooperation and conflict as my fictional characters in Rain of Fire strive to predict the behavior of the world’s largest supervolcano.
This site was really an inspiration to me in deciding to write Rain of Fire. Professor Robert (Bob) Smith, of the University, has written an excellent and informative nonfiction book called "Windows into the Earth," that I quote as the foreword to my fictional account of impending disaster.
Up to the minute data on earthquakes anywhere on earth. One morning I was lying in bed in Houston, Texas and I heard the mirror above the bed rattling in the frame. It went on for over a minute and then stopped. I got up, logged on, and found a major quake had just occurred off the west coast of Mexico. It didn't make breaking news on Good Morning America for another ten minutes.
