    I grew up in Nor Cal with the Sacramento river running through town. MANY times it flooded and closed town off from outside travel. Homes were flooded. It happened so often it didn't seem that out of the ordinary. As a kid it was exciting; as an adult it's tragic. Hope everyone stays safe out there!!!

      @@Ryan-rh8rn For those that believe in the whole Noah's Ark global flood fairy tale, here's a few simple science questions and info.
      Where does rain come from? It comes from water evaporating from oceans, lakes, rivers, ponds etc. In order for that much rain to fall it had to have evaporated from those bodies of water by evaporation, thus lowering the water level. It's utterly impossible for there to have been a flood of those proportions when all the rain was doing was replacing the evaporated water, thus no global flooding at all. Yes there could have been isolated flooding the likes of which occurs now but nothing near the global flooding that the fairy tale portends!

    We were on I 90 Going from Idaho into Yellowstone National Park, back in 2012. My Mom was born in northern Idaho & we went to see where she grew up. We were going back home via Yellowstone & Grand Teton, so we went into Yellowstone thru the Northern Entrance. It's sooooo SAD to see ALL that GORGEOUS area washed away. We even stayed in a little motel in Livingston that was owned by a former Marine. My husband was a Navy Corpsman attached to the Marine's, so we got treated "Royally" by the family. I wonder if they're all OK or if their Motel survived??

      The pollution from one high-population city had more of an effect on this flood than Wyoming, Montana, and Idaho COMBINED. Many people lived there their entire lives. Some for generations and generations. Yellowstone National Park is one of the few relatively untouched environments and began the concept for not only for the US, but the world. The wilderness there is similarly protected by federal law. Most billionaires and people in government would raze the entire country for short-term profit, if they could. Love of this land is what protects it from harm. I've seen what passes for nature in meteopolitan areas. Why is utter destruction of the environment accepable there? Will you and your entire family leave your home? Where will you go? THIS IS THEIR HOME.

      Good move. Crowds at Yellowstone are bad enough during a normal summer. Big sections of the park and the Loop Road will be closed and traffic jams and crowds for the parts that are open will likely be ridiculous. It can take a long time for parks in remote areas with short seasons for rebuilding and maintenance to recover. Waterton Lakes National Park in Canada had a huge wildfire in 2017. I was there in late August, 2019 and probably 80% of the park was still closed.

These business men spray non biodegradable herbicide toxins on all the broadleafed plants and exterminate every wild animal that consumes grass. Even the prairie dog towns are exploded. The reason they are called " welfare ranchers" is because they declare " disaster relief grants" constantly to get YOU to buy all their hay and feed and chemicals, and even pay for government wildlife exterminators to keep the leased areas devoid of wildlife. I am well acquanted with this corruption. These areas are not historic cattle regions anyway. The grasses stay dead too long all winter and summers too dry. The bison were migratory to survive on the shortgrass prairie until the Buffalo Soldiers exterminated them by 1857 to starve out the Sioux and Frontiersmen.

      @@inharmonywithearth9982 millions of bison may have been killed but it wasn’t just the Buffalo soldiers doing it. I agree with the rest of your assessment however. The longhorns however weren’t native to the SW. They were brought there by settlers and managed to grow exponentially in the arid areas when they became wild.

      @@arthurbrumagem3844 If you consider the math you might want to question that Longhorn theory. Remember history is His Story. How could a few lost cattle in the late 1500s become millions of feral cattle by the late 1700s? The feral horse theory also is challenged. How come the Baskir Curly Mongolian Milk horse has been found among the feral horse bands as well as a thriving breeding operation by Nez Pierce in the Palouse Valley of Washington that is NOTHING genetically simular to Spanish horses? Also the Buffalo Soldiers were able to fully decimate the migratory bison in only 3 years. By 1857 the Buffalo Soldiers were finished and after monutains of bison bones were burned to make lime they became a black regiment until discontinued a hundred years later.

    • @Don-md6wn
      @Don-md6wn 2 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      It doesn't stay cold all summer, but it can get cold at night and snow at the highest elevations during the summer. Most of the campgrounds are at 7000-9000 feet elevations and you can usually figure the temperature is about 4 degrees F lower every 1000 feet up, so lows at night in the high 30's and low 40's aren't unusual. If you're hiking at high elevation and don't carry some layers and a rain jacket you are at risk of hypothermia at any time of year if you get caught in the rain or snow.

    Please list or call out actual place names that will show up on a google earth search. You seem to assume that everyone watching is local to your town, knows the local lingo, and recognizes where drone shots are taken. At the “Yellowstone River” is a great reference if you live within a few miles of it, but it’s a long river and for me driving cross country your videos are useless because I don’t know where they are.
