How Earthquake Park was formed 2008-03-04
I read this soon after it came out, along with the large article in Geographic(which I just remembered & now must search for). Sortly before midnight on Aug 17, 1959, the tectonically unstable Yellowstone area gave a shiver that measured 7.8 on the Richter scale, and a hillside slid down upon sleeping campers at West Yellowstone, Mt., and at the same time, a 20-ft wall of water slopped over a dam and rolled down upon the same campground. 28 people lost their lives. In 2006 I rolled up to the South Entrance from Grand Teton into Yellowstone, and while looking at the map of Yellowstone, I suddenly remembered the morning of August 18, 1959: My family had traveled from the Seattle area, across BC & into Alberta, and was at Glacier National Park that week when my Mother came down sick with some sort of sickness caused by thin air & altitude. We were disappointed when Dad had to call and cancel our reservation for the 17th....at that campground in West Yellowstone.
