About John
Expertise
My greatest passion in the natural world is Yellowstone National Park. I have been going there regularly since I was 2 (that was in 1953). I make a minimum of two trips a year there, and have visited in both the summer and winter. My area of real joy is studying and observing the geysers, primarily in the upper geyser basin near Old Faithful. I belong to a group called GOSA (the Geyser Observation and Study Association) which has around 300 members. I have also acquired a passion for park history, much of it`s geology, I marvel every year at the wonderful canyon and experience such peace on the shores of Lake Yellowstone. I do love this park and if I can help make a families time there more fun and a greater learning experience I would love to do that.
Experience
I am a founding member of both the Committee to Preserve Our Yellowstone Heritage, a group committed to preserving habitat and affordable accomodations, and I am a charter member of The Geyser Observation and Study Association (GOSA). This added to my years of study and enjoyment give me a valuable base from which to share what I have learned over the years.

Subject: Camping recs for inside Yellowstone in early Aug
Question
What campgrounds do you recommend for camping inside the park? We're traveling to YNP in early Aug. Boys are 9 and 6 and are great campers, travelers, we're all Scouts as well. Planning on 3 days there, would like to be near showers if possible. THANKS!
Answer
Hi Vicki:
The two most centralized campgrounds are Norris and Canyon. Norris has no support facilities like stores, restaurants, or gas stations. It would be a more rustic situation. Canyon, Lake and Fishing Bridge have full services available and are centrally located too. If you look at a map of the park you will see the main road system is a giant figure 8 and from all these locations it is easy to plan loop trips to the various features without much backtracking. Less time on the road and more time hiking and exploring is good!! As to showers you will have to talk to the reservation people about that. Their number is 307-344-7381. You should call ASAP to see about reservation policies. Good luck and enjoy your trip!!
John
