Warming Hut Rangers soon discover they are one of the main attractions of a trip through Yellowstone. Occasionally people ask about the life cycle of the cutthroat trout or the long-term ecological consequences of forest fire, but what they most want to know is “Do you live here? By yourself?” or "What do you do without television?" Though I no longer work in a warming hut, this blog speaks to these questions: glimpses of life and work in places where most people only visit.

Ice sculptures
A unique treat for a cold morning: ice formations on the window panes.
I guess I should clarify that the ice was on the warming hut window--not on my bedroom window. I'd move out if my house were that cold!
Thanks for the clip--I'll have to check it out when I'm on a non-government computer (youtube is an evil waste of productive work time, apparently, and is banned from our computers.)
I guess the park service didn't hear all those radio promotions about expiring tax credits for energy efficient windows.
ReplyDeleteI am loving reading your blog, Mel!
By the way, I heard a little clip of this video on NPR today, and thought of you. Check it out: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=obTNwPJvOI8.
Miss you! Kayla
