    Looks as if there is still plenty of water going down the river. Probably too much for good fishing.

    I talked with a tour bus driver who had volunteered to rescue people at the inn during the fire. The fire had them completely cut off for a while, and everyone was panic-stricken.

    He said he wasn't too concerned though. If the fire got that far, he planned to drive the bus right up to Old Faithful. The bus and the large bare area which surrounds Old Faithful would have given them enough protection.
