 From Karen Webb
    Just wanted to draw everyone's attention to the latest virtual field 
trip from Windows into Wonderland (run by the NPS), which is on 
geysers.  The preview is now up at

www.windowsintowonderland.org/GeyserQuest

While it's written for elementary aged kids (Vicki and you other homeschoolers, take note!) it's very well done, is paced well with a combination of content, activities, and video footage, and is accessible for novices while still being fairly interesting for old-timers.  My almost-8yo did most of it himself (of course, he's been going there since he popped out of the womb), but I think it would be doable by a younger child with an interest (with help) but would also hold the attention of an older child or teen.  This is the first one we've gone all the way through, and I was very impressed at the thought that went into it.  There's even a photo of Waimangu!
