FLASH!!  A word to the wise.  Parts, or perhaps most all of my old Geocities website seems to be available online at www.geocities.ws.geysrbob/  DO NOT GO THERE !  I do not know who is sponsoring this site, but it is apparently originating out of Argentina. Norton Anti-virus identifies it as loaded with viruses and computer threats!!!  BEWARE!


Welcome to Geyser Bob's  new and improved Greater Yellowstone historical service, providing a bounty of historical information and archival photographs of Yellowstone National Park, Wyoming and the surrounding gateway communities in Montana, Wyoming, and Idaho.

I have to apologize for the abrupt loss of service last October for my original website. My site was one of thousands that utilized the Geocities Web Hosting service of Yahoo. For undisclosed reasons (most likely corporate bottom line) Yahoo decided to discontinue the Geocities hosting service.  Although they gave advance notice for the shutdown to their customers, their promises of providing the support necessary to transfer my site to their new hosting site went unfulfilled, leading the the shutdown in October 2009.

Since then I have struggled with just letting nine years of work go by the wayside, or basically starting from scratch and reinventing the site. After much research and soul-searching, I decided to continue onward and am putting my limited technological faith into HostGator as my new host provider. It will be a long and slow process to rebuild he site. Initially much of the actual information and photographs will be similar to my original site, but I believe the organizational properties of this new site will be much superior, and the site itself much more professional in appearance.  So bear with me as we proceed into new waters and I work to understand and implement a new system of providing service to history aficionados. 

Although I have established the basic framework and organization for the site, many of the pages will be blank for a long time. I have completed the Pioneer Biographies section, and have completed the Hotels & Lodges pages.  The Camping Company pages will be next, as traditionally they have been quite popular. There is a link on this page to "New Stuff" in which I will keep tabs of the progress made on putting new pages on-line.

Thanks to those of you who took the time to contact me and offer your support for bringing Geyser Bob back from cyberspace limbo.  Your support was instrumental in my decision process. 

Please feel free to contact me regarding any problems you may encounter,  to offer advice on site organization or content, or just to chat about Yellowstone history.  I'd be happy to hear from you,  Contact me through email or FaceBook.  I am now working at the South Rim of Grand Canyon and enjoying the "Wonderland" of Northern Arizona.

Enjoy & Happy Trails,

Bob Goss
