YELLOWSTONE NATIONAL PARK IS NOT BEING EVACUATED

AN ARCH OF STEAM IN YELLOWSTONE

There was recently a post on Facebook to the effect that Yellowstone National Park and the surrounding area is being evacuated because the Super Volcano is set blow in a matter of weeks.  This is ABSOLUTELY NOT TRUE - or - at least if it is true no one has bothered to notify the residents of West Yellowstone - which is 30 miles from Old Faithful.

This article was in a publication called "Before It's News."  At the bottom of the article is states that this article was taken down after it was discovered that the source was from an April Fool's joke in 2014.

Maybe some people think this is funny.  Talk to the residents and merchants in West Yellowstone - Jackson Hole or Cody.  They do not see any humor in it.  

These towns depend largely on the tourist trade for their livelihood and it is stories like this as well as the recent story about ALL the roads in Yellowstone melting that has done nothing for the economic survival of these towns.

If you have questions about Yellowstone contact the National Park Service and get the straight story.
