The plot thickens. The National Parks Traveler's pic caption only says "Courtesy of Mike Keller," not that he took it or that it was in 1984. There is no detail in the website pic that differs from the one in my book.

Could our GOSA president please speak up?

Thanks,
Janet Chapple

In 2008 I paid Bruce Chase for that photo for the third edition of Yellowstone Treasures, assuming, of course, that he had taken it. The picture appears on page 231 of my book and should, at least, be credited to the right person.  May 23, 2005 was the date of the eruption, as given to me.
