Stir, that is AWESOME! Thanks for sharing. It looks like you just missed Bill by a couple three years. He worked for YPSS in the early 70s. : ) It's always nice when the "savages" return to Yellowstone.

They built tunnels that contected the main buildings. Some fellow employees found a secret way in, and a bunch of us went "tunneling", it was cool. I'm am not at liberty to divulge the location of the secret entrance, for fear of a fate worse then death...lol
