[Geysers] Obama visit to YNP

[Seeyellowstone at aol.com]

Some other details about Obama's visit, he is spending the night here in  
Big Sky, before likely traveling by helicopter or motorcade to Old  Faithful. 
 Today he traveled by motorcade between Belgrade and Big Sky's  Mountain 
Village, and there was a law enforcement official in every pullout in  the 
canyon.  Michelle and the kids white water rafted the Gallatin today,  and had 
to cancel the zip line, because of the thunderstorm that ran through  here, 
which toppled several trees here in the Mountain Village.  We  had at least 
50 to 75 cop cars up here including Rangers from the Gallatin,  Grant and 
Madison Districts.  Everything went smooth, and we expect him to  fly or drive 
out tomorrow (Saturday) morning.  It is nice to see a  president take 
interest in Yellowstone again, and it was nice to see everyone  (at least here in 
Big Sky) real polite and civil with each other.   Obviously, with the 
parking lot in front of the Inn closed, it looks like  the Obama's will be geyser 
gazing.  Go Beehive, Grand, Castle or what ever  else would like to erupt 
during his visit!
