    Yellowstone River Gassed

    NOT NECESSARILY
    A THREAT

    Still A Bit Dangerous
    just a note
    -> P.S. Gallatin River Clearing <--------
    .. The Billings Gazette (via -> Midcurrent,) reported yesterday about the broken gas line in the Yellowstone River.
    .. The broken 8" pipe is a backup for a 16" pipe in the same area. Company officials have no idea, (at this time,) why the pipe ruptured.
    -------
    .. The Gallatin River is pretty clear, (and high, and damned cold,) in the Yellowstone National Park section. Visitors have tried it and caught some eager juvenile trout at the northernmost sections in the park.
    ..
    San Juan Worms of the red and yellow variety were the culprits. We'll check it out and let you know.
