It's truly wonderful. <BR>> <BR>> It led to a question of my own, though. I was browsing <BR>> through the NPS photo archive and came across some photos of an <BR>> area called Death Gulch. Kipling, I see, mentions it too, but <BR>> I can't recall having heard of it before. Looks adequately <BR>> thermal. I assume the dead animals were overcome by gas <BR>> emissions?
