* NOTICE: I have recently been informed by my website host, HostGator, that they will no longer be supporting the platform on which this site is built. So, at some point in the unknown future, they will be disabling this site, along with whomever else is still this using Parallels Plesk platform.

Not being a technical web wiz, and receiving little assistance from Host Gator, I am in the process of building a new web site at Wix.com -

It is a work in progress and will take time to complete, though the site is simpler to work and will produce a more uniform product. I have at this point published a dozen pages, focusing first on those pages that I never converted over from my old Geocities website. These include pages on the Storekeepers and the Railroads (found under the Transportation tab). I hope you will enjoy my new site.
Please email me if you have any questions.

Happy Trails,
Bob Goss,  aka Geyser Bob

   When in the Yellowstone area this summer, stop by West Yellowstone and visit the Yellowstone Historic Center. The Museum will open for the 2015 season on May 16. Join us as we unveil a new exhibit on the 1915 Panama Pacific International Exposition, Yellowstone, and the Union Pacific Railroad, curated by Elizabeth Watry.

The Yellowstone Historic Center seeks to understand, preserve, and interpret the unique cultural heritage of West Yellowstone, the Hebgen Lake Basin, and the connection of that heritage to the development of transportation and visitation to Yellowstone National Park.


Also, when visiting the Livingston Montana, north of Yellowstone Park, be sure to stop by the Yellowstone Gateway Museum. It is a treasure trove of Yellowstone and Park County historical information and photos.

Utilizing its collections and research materials, the museum strives to provide an exciting interpretive view of Park County through ever-changing exhibits. The museum also provides teaching materials for school groups to use either here at the museum or through outreach programs.

Please Note: A historically significant new Yellowstone book, written by Elizabeth A. Watry, "Women in Wonderland" was released April 2012 by Riverbend Publishing.   Check out this important book on women in Yellowstone's past.  The book recently (Sept 2013) won the 2013 Willa Literary Award of Women Writing the West in the category of SCHOLARLY NONFICTION.  Congratulations!

Amazon Review
Betsy Watry tells the tales of a dozen women, some of whom had short-lived adventures in Yellowstone National Park, but most of whom spent decades as rangers, scientists, interpreters, and entrepreneurs, shaping the Park's physical and cultural landscape. This is a wonderful hidden history, full of surprising stories, grounded in intensive research and written with charm. --Dr. Mary Murphy, historian and author of Hope in Hard Times
