OT Richard, I was wondering how you feel about places like Yellowstone National Park being turned into summer time vacation resorts, destroying some wild life area in the process. Richard, When I was "On The Road"(Jack Kerouac) in The Early Seventies, one advantage to the commercialization is that it provided very short term jobs for college kids like me to make some money in the summer and move on. It was a great way to see the country. I worked for a little while in Yellowstone and the North Rim in Arizona(Grand Canyon) as a waiter and pot washer respectively, so I could raise a little money to get to places like Mt.Glacier(right on the Canadian/Montana border and to places like Jaspers, in Canada, and the Black Hills of South Dakota. It was also very pleasant and fun to party with and to get to know all the future business leaders of today at the time. It was a very laid back atmosphere.
