Yellowstoner - First Post!

[Mark Allen]

Good... morning?
My name is Mark, I've been lurking for so long, but... now I'm finally a member. I've backpacked through mostly Colorado and California, as well as live in Yellowstone as a park employee every summer! Figured I'd introduce myself! Glad to finally be able to post!

Good Morning and welcome Mark! This site has lots of great reads and info. While I have been through Wyoming and Montana several times, I have yet to see Yellowstone. It's on my list for sure. Maybe you can give us all an employee's perspective on what to expect when rolling through by thumb. How's tent/tarp camping? Must I pay money? Can I legally build a fire off the beaten path? Anyhow, cheers to you!

You're living my mother's dream! I'll have to ask her if she has any questions for a Yellowstone park employee. I'm sure she will..

What do you do when you're not working there? What do you plan on doing in the future? Are you going to continue with the job in the summer or are you thinking of taking a longer journey this year?
